Morning All,

What were the gear ratio's available on a 53 M38A1? How can i tell which
ratio it has? Did they have id tags?

I have a gentleman who is interested in the D44 from my 62 CJ5...dont want to
sell him something that wont work for him.

Thanks for any input...

Should be a tag attached to the cover. But if it's gone, I don't know of any other way of telling
besides counting teeth.

I take that back. You put it up on jack stands and count the revolutions of your drive line while
you compare with wheel revs.

Jack it up, spin the axle once and see how many times the driveshaft
rotates...

The ratio should be 5.38:1, same as for the 2A, 3A, M38, etc. The tag
on the differential for this ratio is (if I remember correctly) 43/8.

Just read the above, sounds like the 2A has the same axle...not true.
The ratio is the same in the 2A but the axle itself isn't.
