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.

So you have a factory GQ Locker correct??
They came out in GQ's with 4.1s standard. They came out of *SOME* Ti Model GQ's, and werent that many of them. They are Vacuum operated, there should be a solinoid on the diff housing, a small black square box thing...
Failing that there would have to be a part # on them, or if there isnt take to Missan and ask them.
