It is designed for service in vehicles up to 4000 lb (1814 kg) GVWR and in service was mated to a selection of final drive ratios 3.42:1, 3.73:1, or 3.91:1 depending on the carline. The 5L40-E had been designed for 1.8–3.6 L engines with a maximum of 250 ft·lbf (340 N·m) of torque.
Enhanced front (7.25" ring gear) and rear (8.5" ring gear) axles w/ 3.73:1 rear-axle ratio; Larger wheel and axle bearings; 31 x 10.50" BFG A/T Tires (Pickup), 31 x 10.50" BFG Longtrails (Blazer) 46mm gas pressurized Bilstein Monotube shocks; Rear track bar (Pickup), Rear anti-sway bar (Blazer) Skid plates; Fender flares
Similar to the 11.5 variant, this axle also features a reusable rubber gasket and bears a resemblance to the 11.5 axle in its appearance. Notably, the Ram Power Wagon incorporates this axle type equipped with a locking differential. The 2013 model year marked the final usage of this axle configuration in the Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.
The 6.5-liter turbo diesel was only available in two-door 4WD models and was detuned to 360 lb⋅ft (488 N⋅m) torque considering the Tahoe's rear axle capacity. In Mexico, the two-door Tahoe was released in 1995, called the Chevrolet Silverado, and in 1998, the four-door model was released as the Silverado 4-door.
There was the Fiero Coupe, the Sport Coupe and the SE. The Fiero Coupe, also called "Fuel Economy Leader", came with the MY-8 4-speed manual transaxle that had a 0.73 overdrive top gear along with a high mpg 3.32:1 axle ratio. This gave it an EPA highway/city rating of 50/31 mpg. Air conditioning and automatic transaxle could not be ordered.
Geared, torque-sensitive mechanical limited-slip differentials use worm gears and spur gears to distribute and differentiate input power between two drive wheels or front and back axles. This is a completely separate design from the most common beveled spider gear designs seen in most automotive applications.
For the close-ratio transmission, first gear has a 4:1 ratio or 4, and second gear has a ratio of 3:1 or 3, so the progression between gears is 4 / 3 , or 133%. Since 133% is less than 200%, the transmission with the smaller progression between gears is considered close-ratio.
The later Torsen T-2 (Type B) uses a parallel gear arrangement to achieve a similar effect. There is also a specialist application of the T-2, known as the T-2R (RaceMaster) . The latest Torsen T-3 (Type C) is a planetary type differential, in that the nominal torque split is not 50:50.
