possible wrong rear? 86 190D
was out cruising in the Benz today and turned on GPS and noticed that the speedo is off by 10mph at 75 (really 65), 65 is 8, 55, is closer to 6. All reading faster then I am really going. Is it possibly someone swapped in a rear at some point and it was the wrong one (what markings on rear would tell me this)?
I am running 185/65/15 which appears to be original for the car, they are low on tread but NOT that low. Wonder how bad my mpg will be, if I have to spin it so high just to go the speed limit.

Stamped on rearend.
The ratio is stamped on an "ear" of the rearend which is visible by sticking your head under the car (while the car is motionless). I've seen it on the passenger's side or the driver's side, depending on the car.
The other possibility is that you don't have the correct speedometer. (i.e. someone changed the speedo). I don't know if the speedo's are actually marked with the rearend ratio that they are set for. SteveM.

Here is the chart for ever ratio the 190 series used.
On the back of your differential there will be a flat spot with the ratio stamped on it. |

You should be turning 3000rpm at around 75mph with the original 2.65:1 gears and IIRC 155/65-15 tires.

190D diff ratios
Wondering whether you also could publish such a chart for the W124 model?
Anxious to find which diff will fit into a W124.128. Help much appreciated my 190D 2.5, 1986, autom. tr. did run about 69 miles at 3000 rpm and my GPS confirmed this speed. Engine was fairly noisy around 3000 rpm and became quiter again around 3150 rpm |

8 sats tracking me on GPS 70mph on speedo, 3300rpm on tach= 62mph
I only found a big 0 (alittle to the right of center) stamped on the rear, although alot of it is covered up by the rear subframe. 94mph=4500 eeek! looks like I might be going back to the junkyard to find a rear. any difference between gasser and diesel rears? if not I know where a 2.6 is with what appeared to be lower miles. Although I should really find out what kind of MPG this thing will get me before I go swapping rears and making it deathly slow.

Stamped...
I've never seen one that didn't have the ratio stamped on one of the lower "pads" which face the rear of the car. These would be the on the lowermost part of the housing. They are not obscured by the subframe. Sometimes they get covered in grime, but a little scraping/degreasing should reveal the ratio.

son of a gun! So I imagine at some point in it's 400k life the rear got swapped for one out of a 2.2l diesel and if I am reading that right the rear was made in 2/84 Why do I get that rear? Now I am going to go to the JY and pull on. Anything I need to know about pulling the rear, any special tools?

12 pt internals.
Off the top of my head, I think that the axle retaining bolts are 12pt internal bolts (sometimes called triple square). I have also heard people say that you should get the matching axles for the rearend if you are pulling from a JY.
Good luck, and I hope it's not too hot and steamy. SteveM.

No need for that unless your axle boots are cracked.

most of the rear looks pretty fresh and extremely clean, like somebody did some work on it and then it got wrecked. (I bought it with a pretty well smashed front end) Thats cool, maybe next week I can run up to the JY and pull a rear and snag a front windshield since mine is pretty well cracked. ($10 glass day) haha
