Rear end ?
I am going to pickup a new pumpkin tomorrow and I have 2 questions.
1) Where is the G92 stamped on the pumpkin?
2) I cannot remember, do you turn the driveshaft 3 times and the side yoke should turn once or the other way around?
Thanks

I'm guessing you're attempting to confirm the ratio of what you're calling "pumpkin"? If that's so and it's just the differential with no cover then your ID will be very easy! You only need to count the number of teeth on the ring gear and also the pinion, then it's simple math!!
If it's a rear with the cover you need to remove the cover anyway to check it.
The tooth count will also generally be stamped on the outer diameter of the ring gear!
The information that is "inked" or "etched" on the housing isn't a confirmation of the build. It only confirms the original factory build!!
I assumed you're talking about a D36. Are you?
To answer your question directly! A single complete rotation of the ring gear would result in the the pinion being rotated the equivalent of the axle ratio. 2.79 (2 3/4), 3.07 (3.0+), 3.31/3.33(3 1/3) etc!
