What is the gear ratio on a 1996 2wd suburban 1500?

There's no single gear ratio for a 1996 Chevy Suburban 1500 2WD. The ratio depended on several factors chosen at the factory, including engine size, transmission type, and optional equipment (like towing packages). The axle ratio is stamped on a tag on the differential itself.

To find the gear ratio for *your* specific Suburban, you need to:

1. Check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This sticker lists some vehicle specifications, and *might* include the axle ratio. However, it's not always included.

2. Look for a tag on the differential: This is the most reliable method. The differential is located in the rear axle. You'll need to get under the vehicle to locate the tag. The tag will usually state the ratio (e.g., 3.42, 3.73, 4.10).

3. Check your owner's manual (if you have it): It might list the axle ratio, but again, it's not guaranteed.

Without knowing the specific options on your truck, it's impossible to provide a definitive answer. Common ratios for that year and model ranged from approximately 3.07 to 4.10.
