thanks for the reply Cougar.

are you sure they can do all of that tho, i wouldent think that they could...?

whats "IIRC?"

thanks to everyonne else too!

 

IIRC=If I remember correctly. Net lingo, get with the tymes lololol jk

You would be suprised what the dealer can do with a simple VIN. They have a lot of technology that they dont share with John Q. Public.

 

Unless you make friendly with someone in the parts dept. I made friends (no ulterior motive...just a good person..him) with a guy at my local dealer and he helps me out.....quite a bit.

If all else fails, you could just pull the front diff cover off.....assuming the front and rear gearing is the same.

 

if my stealership wont tell me anything you guys should slip your delearships my vin next time you go there...

where do i go to, the parts counter?

ttyl!

 

I wouldnt do the dealership thing. Previous owners might have changed the ratio, stickers can be wrong (not sure if the dealer goes by your door sticker).
I know my dealership went off the door sticker in my truck.

Just do the tire rotation, takes 5 mins and its easy. It took me 6 mins and I did it twice.

 

alright, your true..

but it would be nice to get a new door sticker... alll of mine were removed when the prevous owner was doing body work..

thanks!

 

Sorry for the thread hijack but it seems fitting....

"Are there any tell-tale signs that a previous owner had regeared? Visual sings i mean."

Thanks

Paint on the pinion will tell you the code.

And usually you can tell if the diff nuts have been turned, as well as goop for the gasket.

 

ditto, the po did a cab swap on my rig, he never changed the door sticker so now I have the vin/tag for a 1990 pickup, 4x4, 22re, with 28" tires...


There might be some signs if he has arsed it.

 

jay & idayota: does tire size affect the count at all?

 

Not at all. I did mine with 33" tires and 4.56 gears (ment for 31" tires)

 

I can use the driveshaft revolution counting to determine my front gears as well correct?
