What is the gear ratio for a 1996 Dodge 1500?

There's no single gear ratio for a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500. The gear ratio in the rear differential depends on several factors including the engine size, transmission type (automatic or manual), trim level, and options selected by the original buyer. Dodge offered a wide variety of axle ratios for that model year.

To find the gear ratio for *your* specific 1996 Dodge Ram 1500, you need to:

* Check the sticker on the driver's side doorjamb: This often lists some of the vehicle's specifications, but it may or may not include the axle ratio.

* Look at the tag on the differential itself: The differential cover usually has a tag or is stamped with the axle ratio (e.g., 3.55, 3.92, 4.10). You'll need to get under the truck to see this.

* Check your owner's manual: If you still have the original owner's manual, it might list the gear ratio.

* Consult a dealer or parts store: Provide them with your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and they should be able to look up the specifications for your truck.

Without knowing the specific configuration of your truck, I cannot provide you with the correct gear ratio.
