When you pull the cover to inspect it PRIOR to purchasing it , on the side of the ring gear are numbers , get those and you can tell what gears are in there. Usually it is something like 41 and 10 , I.E 41 divided by 10 /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

An alternative method to what Paul suggested:
Hold one wheel still. Rotate the free wheel 1 rotation, and count the number of turns the pinion yoke makes. Generally it will be some standard gearset like 3.73 or 4.10

If its not a real locker or welded, the other tire differentiates and the driveshaft won't turn /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

What if both wheels are raised and the driveshaft is turned by hand, will the results be the same as one wheel held still? Or will it be half? I tried both wheels raised on my 14bff and came up with a stupid number: about 2.25 driveshaft revolutions for 1 tire revolution.

Double it for one tire rotation. Does 4.56 sound right?

4.56 makes a lot more sense than 2.25 /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

If the wheel can be turned with only one wheel raised then you rotate the tire 2 times.
If it is a spool or welded and both wheels have to be raised in order to turn it then it is only one revolution of the wheel.
