I went into O'Reilly's to get a front pinion seal. He asked me what size ring gear I had. Eight and a half or nine and a half inch ring? How would I find this out? My truck is a 99 Z71. It has a 5.3 engine with a 4L60E automatic. The gear ratio is 4.10. I didn't know they made 2 different ring gears and I don't have a clue where to begin looking. TIA
