Jim, I agree wholeheartedly with your last sentence. I can't believe how many different, conflicting, difficult solutions are offered up any time this question is posted.

I don't normally have anyone around to count driveshaft revolutions while I spin the wheel, so here's what I do. I jack up the drivers side and turn that wheel 1 3/8 turns, then lower it, jack up the passenger side, and rotate that wheel 5/8 of a turn. I weld 6 nails to the driveshaft in a radial arrangement, spaced at 60 degree intervals, and tie my dog underneath the car next to the driveshaft. He howls every time the a nail hits him in the ass, so I simply count the number of times he howls, divide by 6, and that's pretty damn close to my gear ratio. I could weld 10 nails to the driveshaft, but I love my dog.......
