How do I find my axle ratio?
How do I find my axle ratio?
Method 1: Count the number of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion. Divide the number of the ring gear’s teeth by the number of the pinion’s teeth. This will give you the axle ratio.
How do I know what rear end my Chevy has?
Identify your GMC or Chevrolet rear end gear ratio by the RPO Codes, usually located on the placard labeled “Service Parts Identification” inside the drivers door panel or glove box.
What is the difference between a 10-bolt and 12-bolt rear end?
First, the 10-bolt’s pinion shaft diameter is 1.438 (25 splines) while the 12-bolt is 1.625 (30 splines) which makes the 12-bolt 13 percent larger in diameter and therefore stronger. The 8.2 uses a 28-spline axle (1.20 inches in diameter) while the 12-bolt uses a 30-spline axle (1.625 inches in diameter).
Why does only one wheel spin when I do a burnout?
In general, it’s because you don’t have a locking or limited-slip differential. In that case, if there isn’t equal traction for both wheels, the one with the least grip will steal all the power and start to spin.
Can every car do a burnout?
Burnouts began in drag racing, where tires must be heated to obtain the optimum traction on the racing surface. Plus it just looks cool. Unfortunately, you can’t burnout in any old car, but if you want to remove layers of expensive rubber to accomplish nothing of dynamic significance besides enjoyment, it can be done.
How do you get both tires to spin?
For both tires to consistently spin there would need to be a device (LSD, locker, or spool) to engage both shafts to give power to both wheels, not just the one that has the least resistance. Limited Slip Differentials A differential locker can make a world of difference when it comes to driving off-road.
Do burnouts damage your transmission?
Burnouts are just about the worst thing you can do to a transmission automatic or otherwise. It’s called a burnout for a reason: it will burnout your transmission.
