I have a diesel with 4.1 : 1 rear diff ratio. I wanted to replace it with a factory locker diff that I picked up. My problem is that I compared the ratio's to check that I had the same.

The diff on my 4wd required 4 and a bit turns on the driveshaft to turn the wheel around completely once. This I thought is how the 4.1 bit works in practice.

I checked the new diff and it only required 2 and a little bit to completely turn the wheel once.

Question, does this make the ratio 2.05 : 1 or 8.2 : 1 ? or am I just plain silly. Then I thought that if I put it in and could get the machine to go, I should be able to do around 250 kph.

Any thoughts.
