help me read my door tag




I think I have the 4.30 gearing according to what I have read so far does that look right? Is there anything else that I can learn from this?

BEWARE!!!
According to my door tag my axle ratio is completely different than what I have, its NOT even close.

I highly doubt anything was changed on my truck, due to the fact it is a '93 that had 69,500 verified original miles on it and was 95% original when I bought it.
I can't see the guy I bought it off of wanting to change the gears and nothing else.

Good Luck!

P.S. Everything else was accurate and I did check my ratio, the sticker was wrong.

An unrelated question....

My door tag looks like yours in that it has a bunch of divets and rips in it.

It was that way when I bought it, so I have no idea how it got so hammered.

How did yours get damaged?

This may give me a clue as to what happened to mine.

Mine also reads that it came with 225/75/15 tires, and mine is a 2002 Sport Edition, which all come with 265/70/16's. Which means with the VZN185L-GKPGKA code, I've got 3.909 gears.

So those door tags are not too reliable.
