Fstop, find one with a standard transmission. For some reason, off the top of my head, I thought this was the distinguishing factor. Standard tranny had the 4.10s and Autos had 4.56 but, regardless which is which, I do believe there is/were two axle ratios available. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Just went into the GM system, and a manual non-adventure series, auto adventure series (mine) and an auto non-adventure series all show 4:56 rear end. I cannot seem to locate a mnaual with an off-road package. Then again, I'm just running through VINs and playing peek and seek.
If we have access to our computers today (thank you EDS

), I will run a parts check. It will list all the rear end gear ratios available. But so far, I have never seen any mention of a 4:10 gear in the H3.
Maybe, they released a different gear late in the game, but the order sheets show no option for the rear end, other than a locker with the adventure series.
