calculate rear axle ratio

it's an open differential, block one wheel from turning then turn the other exactly one revolution while counting the revolutions of the driveshaft. Multiply the revolutions of the driveshaft by 2 and that's your ratio. In other words if the driveshaft turns slightly over 2 turns it's a 4:10 ratio. If it turns 1-3/4 times it's a 3.55 ratio. If it turns 1-5/8 times it's a 3.23 ratio, etc.

It's more accurate to turn the one wheel TWO turns, and just count the driveshaft
