Parts department will need to know this information.
If you want to do the calculation yourself, the formula is:
#of pinion teeth = (263 x Axle Ratio) / Tire Diameter >>
ok, so I've got a 3.55 diff and going to 33" tires...
#of pinion teeth = (263 x 3.55) / 33
#of pinion teeth = 933.65 / 33
#of pinion teeth = 28.29242424
meaning I need a 28 tooth gear, correct?
Jon, you mentioned you had a few spare gears over there, wouldn't happen to
have a 28 tooth, would ya?
