Can I use the vin? Is there a code I missed somewhere on the door sticker? Is there a build sheet somewhere in the rams?

Thanks in advance

Here’s a link to dodges main website. Click on the “equipment listing” in the left hand side of the page. Then put your VIN number in and you’ll have every option listed for your truck. Other way is climb underneath and look at the back pumpkin, most trucks have a small metal tag attached to a diff cover bolt. Depends if it’s ever been serviced and accidentally lost..

That is a very impressive that dodge has that option on the website. Printed out the whole build sheet for my truck! Thanks Chris!

You have a 1500. Therefore (if stock) you have a 9.25". If you mean ratio, that will be in the build sheet, tag inside the glovebox (if it's still there) or the tag on the differential cover under one of the bolts (if that's still there).

Ive tried emailing them close to 10 different times and it still won't send. The icon just sits and spins. I tried my phone, my wifes phone and even our laptop with no luck. I've been meaning to stop by the dealer when I'm in town but keep forgetting. Maybe it's just my luck lol

The link above you enter your VIN and it generates a build sheet in pdf form immediately. If you're having issues I can run the VIN and post it here for you (if you'd like).

You are somewhat lucky
The BodyBuilders website goes back to 2004

You have to follow the instructions that are printed in RED


OR

If you are using Windows 10, IE 11 is loaded on your machine. To open IE 11 go to the START menu. (click on the lower left corner of the screen) Scroll down to the W's and find the heading for WINDOWS ACCESSORIES and expand it. From there, select INTERNET EXPLORER. If you wish, you can pin EXPLORER to your taskbar.

Follow the link Crash posted. Don't do what Yankee posted... That is just really bad advice. Site he posted is even worse.

Im trying to identify my differentials. When I type my vin into that link it says nothing can be found. Can anyone get me a build sheet of my truck. My vin is 3C7WRNDL9HG625542

Thank you for posting the link to the build sheet. I can't tell you how grateful to be able to have EVERY detail about my truck now. I was searching for conformation wether or not I have 3.92 gears and LSD - I must admit I've never understood or had a reason for actually learning myself what gear ratios were. I do now. So, thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Yep, the site that Crash68 posted is the best site that is running now.

Before Stellantis took over, the best site back then was the Bodybuilder site.
You would not believe all the info available before Stellantis had it all erased.

Back then you could go to the Bodybuilders website & get a complete WIRING GUIDE, & it was all FREE

It's handy info to have. Yours is new enough that this should work as well, pick the make and enter your VIN: https://windowstickerlookup.com/
