Gear ratio is a number, usually expressed as a decimal fraction, representing how many turns of the input shaft cause one revolution of the output shaft.
The special case of gear ratios are the engine speed of the car to the rotation of the drive wheels.
The overall gear ratio is equal to ratio of ring and pinion gear multiplied by the ratio of speed gear the car is operating in.

Diameter measurements are useful for determining approximate gear ratios for non-gear linkages such as pulleys and belts.
In 4th gear, the gear ratio of 1:1 means that the engine and the transmission’s output are moving at the same speed.
5th and 6th gears are known as overdrive gears, in which the output of the transmission is revolving faster than the engine.

The idea behind multiple gears on a bicycle -- whether it's an older "10-speed" bike or a modern mountain bike with 24 gears -- is to let you change the distance that the bike moves forward with each pedal stroke.
The "lowest" gear ratio on the bike might be a front chain wheel with 22 teeth and a rear gear having 30 teeth.
The "highest" gear ratio on the bike might be a front chain wheel with 44 teeth and a rear gear having 11 teeth.

Unless driven gears with more than 45 teeth and / or drive gears with fewer than 15 teeth become available, it will be impossible without using a ratio adapter to have an accurate speedometer with rear end gear ratios lower (higher numerically) than 4.10:1, unless 27 inch or larger tires are installed.
To determine your rear end ratio, raise both tires off of the ground, turn both tires at the same time one complete turn, at the same time count the turns of the drive shaft, this is your ratio.

 Tire Size Vs. Gear Ratio - A Formula
Your truck comes from the factory with the optimum axle gear ratio to work with the truck's engine, transmission, and stock tire combination as well as provide a good balance between acceleration and fuel economy.
When taller tires are installed on a truck but the axle ratios stay the same; the effective gear ratio is reduced.
Fortunately, finding the correct gear ratio to run with the tires that you plan to install is simple using a mathematical formula.

It has a low gear that is over 5:1 as opposed to the stock 5 speed of 3.83:1 and an overdrive in the low.7's:1 as opposed to.79:1 in the stock 5 speed, and it is structurally a much stronger tranny too.
Where a vehicle was stock with 3.73 gears and 30” tall tires and wanted to go to 35” tires it would need at least a 4.35 gear ratio to keep the same gearing it had stock.
Since that ratio is probably not available one would need to decide between 4.10 or 4.56 gearing (some applications may have a 4.26:1 available).

 Optimum Rear Gear
Figure I below is a chart of rear wheel torque increases; to find the torque increase for a proposed gear ratio change, find your present ratio in the left column and move across to the column that is headed by the proposed ratio, the percentage shown is the torque increase (negative percentages are torque decreases).
The point of these examples is that a gear ratio that is perfect for one car could be a disaster in another car aiming for a similar performance goal, so you must consider the engine combination carefully when choosing the rear gear ratio.
The two rear wheel horsepower curves show that increasing the gear ratio causes the horsepower peak to occur at a lower road speed but the peak horsepower value is the same.

 Simple theory of worm face gears.
Gear cutting ratio has to be the same as the gear set ratio so it is impossible to have a hunting ratio for cutting if the gear set does not have it.
The gear cutter has to have the same geometry that the pinion so it has to have the same number of the threads.
Using oversized gear and pinion as electrodes does not solve the problem because it is impossible to cut the gear that is oversized in the same directions that plastic shrinks.

 GEAR FUNCTIONS
The (right) driving gear with 20 teeth, 1 inch radius and 2 ounce-inches torque rotates CCW at 200 RPM and and exerts a 2 ounce force on the driven gear with forty teeth for a ratio of 2:1.
Using the left gear as the input with 10 teeth, T = 1 oz-in and RPM = 12 K CW, the second gear is driven at a 3:1 ratio yielding the results shown but rotates CCW.
