If box is out of the car put it in 4th gear which is 1:1 then put the T-case in low. Next turn the input sharft inthe bellhousing, and count the number of full revolutions it takes to spin the T-case flange around once. The input sharft should do just over 4 revolutions to 1 at the T-case flange.
If it only takes 2 & 1/4 its standard gearing not rockhoppers.
