 I'm not a great person when trying to figure out ratios based on what the
 parts film says, so someone else on the list could probably translate this
 better than I can. >>

Hello Jim,

Just divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion teeth to get the
ratio.  I can't lay my hands on a calculator but it looks like the
DM ratio is 5.42 and the DZ is 5.86.  Going off memory AFAIK
the diesels only came in the 5.86 ratio here in the States.
Anyone else with other info?
