Yea sorry, little bit of some typing issues but i ment from my understanding is 2008 sahara automatic has 3.73 and 6speed has 3.21. I have 2008 sahara auto with tow package so just confirming that i currently have 3.73. Sounds like there are many different configuration by year/transmission/model/options but not really worried about else just trying to confirm what i have.
Thanx for all the reply's to confirm what i was thinking and the confussion for everybody else....

Would this be true for the 2007 as well ? I've been trying a few searches on here to try and figure out what axle ratio my 2007 Sahara Unlimited Automatic might have [bought it used and it didn't have the original window sticker :( ]. Mine doesn't have the tow package.

Yes, that's correct.

2007 non Rubicon model automatics had 3.73s or were available with 4.10s.

I'd go to your dealership with your Vin # in hand and ask for them to print you out a build sheet. Service or parts can do it for you free of charge.

Ok I will try to simplify this:

2007 Models:
X, Sahara, 6-speed 3.21
X, Sahara, Auto 4.10
Rubi (all) 4.10
Optional tow package for X, Sahara 4.10
$50 option for X, Sahara 6-speed 4.10

2008 and 2009 Models:
X, Sahara, 6-speed 3.21
X, Sahara, Auto 3.73
Rubi (all) 4.10
Optional tow package for X, Sahara 3.73
$?? option for X, Sahara 6-speed 3.73

That is all. There were no 3.73 gears on 2007 models, only 4.10 and 3.21.

If you have an automatic 2007 you have 4.10 gears.

Thanks for clearing that up armycop. I'd been trying to find that info for a while but hadn't had any luck.
