gear ratio 93 explorer

bushmonkey · Dec 1, 2010

how do i find out what the gear ratio of my 93 explorer is if the rear diff is unreadable?

Get the axle code off the door and go to the tech library. Should be the easiest for ya.

Just in case you didn't find it in the Tech Library:

If for some reason the sticker isn't there or you suspect the gears have been changed, you can jack up the rear and turn a wheel 1 rotation. Count how many times the driveshaft goes around. It helps to make a mark on the DS so it's easier to count.

Good luck

I can tell you that my 92 Explorer that I just junked out came with a 3.27 open diff

Unfortunate to see a gen1 expo go bye bye, but I have 3.27's (l/s... Go figure?) and they are atrocious. It makes my 4.0 feel like the 2.8 from my old b2.

is the axel code on the door marked as the axel code? i'm wondering because my truck is parked at my parents house (only room for 2 vehicles at my place) and im going to get my brother to run out and check for me.

and thankz for the help people i've only posted 3 times and i always get great info back.

On the door tag, I believe when you're looking at it (right side up) it's towards the bottom-leftish of the tag. It says Axle and there's a two digit code directly underneath. That's the code you need.

my axel code is d4 so the gear ratio is 3.73 . is this a good ratio for mudding and 4x4ing? my truck isnt a daily driver so would a different set of gears be something to think about?

it depends on what size tires you plan on running.

You'll probably want lower gears in the future. 4.56s or 4.88s eventually.

will the stock gear i have be good to run 33/12.5? i can get a set from a freind for cheap cheap and they would look good on my truck
