I thought they were on the door sticker, but I just checked mine and didn't see anything resembling the ratio.

there are a few ways easiest is to look behind the glovebox for a tag that will have it listed. Also you can use the Vin # to get a build sheet and check that way. And the othre way is to jack up the rear and spin the tires or something like that and count the revolutions. Someone will be able the help with the last one better. I would say you probly have either 3.92's or 4.10's

i've never seen anywhere in the glove box or behind that had the gear ratio on my 3rd gen. It is possibly on a sticker on the axle, but that doesn't last long in rain and stuff. The easiest way will be to request a build sheet.

Build sheet or count the amount of turns. There is a way to do it but I cant for the life of me remember it at the moment.

Mine has a sticker inside the glove box with all the build specs. There is also a way to tell by jacking up the rear end, and counting the times the tire rotates per spin or something like that.

Al I did was looked on the front of the front diff. there is a sticker there that will say either 3.92 or 4.10

lol...that's easy on a new truck.......his is basically a 4 year old truck......i doubt that sticker is still legible if its even still on there.
