Thanks for the help!!

Since it's new and you are the only owner, you can look at the window sticker, or give the dealer your VIN and they will get a build sheet for you.

The rear gear ratio will be the same as the front Now to be serious, I think there should be a tag on the differential with the ratio on it, or the ratio should be on your window sticker, or you could e-mail Chrysler and get your build sheet.

Click this link and fill in the info to get your build sheet.

Hopefully you paid the $150 and got the 3.73's added. I love how my 3.73's run I'm getting about 17MPG and I drive the dam thing like I stole it.

I got a great deal on the Jeep but I had to pick that exact model so I couldn't customize it...

To check yourself in the driveway:

Jack up one of the wheels and spin the tire two complete revolutions while counting how many times the driveshaft spins.

Just over 3 times - 3.21.
3 and a quarter times - 3.73
Just over 4 - 4.10

That would be 3¾ times.
