[TR] high engine rpm

[Joe Curry]

Bill,
That is precisely the procedure that I proposed.  However, I did mention
that you ought to keep one wheel from spinning so that you remove the
differential effect.

Jack it up, put a chalk mark on the d/s and the wheel and turn the shaft by
hand, counting revs, until the wheel goes around once.  Not too tought, is
it?

Well, It would appear to be that way , but there is no way at all to know
how many revolutions the drive shaft is turning and thus measure the ratio.

To be able to determine the ratio without disassembling the diff, you have
to set up a controlled situation.  That is what I was describing. (Apples
and oranges)

Actually what he describes is *exactly* the same - the wheel on dry pavement
does not turn at all - all the torque goes to the wheel on the ice that
offers no resistance.
