I'm not a great person when trying to figure out ratios based on what the parts film says, so someone else on the list could probably translate this better than I can. >>

Hello Jim,

Just divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion teeth to get the ratio. I can't lay my hands on a calculator but it looks like the DM ratio is 5.42 and the DZ is 5.86. Going off memory AFAIK the diesels only came in the 5.86 ratio here in the States. Anyone else with other info?
