Here are some popular converters and calculators free for your use.
Ring / Pinion - Gear Ratio:
Okay, so you've torn your pumpkin apart and have the ring gear and pinion gear teeth count. This calculator will give you the gear ratio, just plug in the numbers.
Speedometer Converter:
Ever wonder how far off your
speedometer is with your new bigger tires? I'm using a simple ratio
calculation, so this info will only approximate your corrected speed
and depends on the accuracy of tire size diameters (assuming nothing
but tire size has changed).
Find new Gear Ratio with new Tire Size:
Now that you have your truck lifted,
you want bigger meats. They look cool and have the potential of being
very functional, but they may also be robbing you of power/gas mileage.
This calculator will get you back to a ratio that's closer to your
original. Enter the values on the left and press Compute.
Find Overall Crawl Ratio:
Ever wonder what your low-low-low gear
ratio is, your "crawl ratio"? You'll need to do a little
research by finding out the transfer case and transmission ratios
first. Enter your values on the left side, press Compute and your
answer will be on the right.
Find MPH:
I've spend a bunch of time trying to
WAG (wild ass guess) my actual MPH when going down the road. By knowing
your gear ratios and tire size you'll get a more accurate idea here.
Enter the value on the left, press Compute.
Find RPM:
I suppose if you don't have a
tachometer you could use this form, otherwise it's only useful to find
out how accurate your Tach is. Enter the values on the left, press
Compute.
Convert P-Metric Tire to Inches
This formula is a nice way to get the
tire diameter of those metric tires that are common on just about
everything stock. For example a 265/75R16 would be around 31.6 inches
tall. Enter the numbers into this form in the order you read them from
the tire and press Compute.
