If similar to the face lifts, an auto would be 4.2. Maybe uncle Jimbob could confirm.  Thumbs Up!

Sorry, specifically the 2.6 auto. The drive by wires are listed in FAQ for the correct gearing. I would think the 2.5 would be the same. But that's an assumption.

I can honestly say that I have no recollection of that thread at all, or even why I asked the question. Embarrassed
Looks like 4.22 is correct then. Smiley Thanks all. Thumbs Up!

There's a plate on the diff with different markings/digits on it and somewhere on this forum there's a table telling which code is which ratio...
