Hi guys new here and had a question about gear ratios. Well Im trying to replace the 14 bolt rear diff on my 77 k20 I bought the replacement and i have no idea if they both have the same ratio I tried to post pics but could not do it so here are what the rings say up along the side.

2 GM3977334 10 41 1 72
1 GM3992484 11 41 10 76
Appreciate any help thanks.

i think you have 4:10's. i now have 4:88's but tomorrow, i will look at the numbers on my old 3:73's and compare notes. i divided the numbers on mine and it came out to 3:73. thats how i new. otherwise, count the teeth on your ring and your pinion and divide them. that should tell you what you need to know.

Cool thanks for the help, I counted both rings and they both have the same # of teeth but I couldnt count the pinion cause I would have to move the other stuff just to get to it so am I cool as far as same ratio?
