Any way to tell the gear in a rear off the car
So I'm going to pick up a 10-bolt rear tomorrow that according to the seller has 4.11 gears in it (strange I would have expected 4.10s in a 10-bolt). What I want to know is:
What ratio is it between the spinning of the axle hub/wheels compared it to the pinion yoke? Will it actually be 4.11 rotations of the pionon to get one complete rotation of the wheel?
or
Is there any other way of telling what gears are in the rear without opening up the dif?
Thanks and sorry if that's a bit of a newbie question, I'm really not smart on gears.

Best way is to take a 1/2 socket and rachet, pop the cover and count the gears. Usually the aftermarket gears will have the # of teeth stamped on them.
