How many teeth are on the crown wheel and pinion on a 3.7 sierra diff? I have a set of 3.7's and 3.9's but I'm not sure which is which (they are all in a parts bin I got with my old car).
Thanks in advance. Donny.

Count the teeth and divide the numbers to determine the ratio...

In my old cars a lot of r & p were marked to show what they match to. Not checked zook stuff

I would think that larger pinion should go with the crown wheel that has coarser teeth which is the 3.7:1 pair.

You shouldn't mix and match your pinion and ring gears. They are a matched pair, and are worn in together. Mismatched R&P's canbecome noisey, and even fail earlier than otherwise expected.
