Truck information

What you can do is look on the rear end for a tag that says what gear it has if they still do that or take the vin to a dealership and they can print you a vehicle information sheet that list everything the truck had during assembily. I dont know if they charge for that. My father got one of the printouts before.

or just tell us the rpm at 60 mph. If it is 2000rpm or a smidge over, you have 4.10s. If it is lower, then you have 3.55s

Take the cover off. Count the teeth on the ring gear. Count the teeth on the pinion. Divide the ring gear teeth by the pinion gear teeth. Result is your ratio.
