Get the axle code off the door and go to the tech library. Should be the easiest for ya.

Just in case you didn't find it in the Tech Library:

If for some reason the sticker isn't there or you suspect the gears have been changed, you can jack up the rear and turn a wheel 1 rotation. Count how many times the driveshaft goes around. It helps to make a mark on the DS so it's easier to count.
Good luck

Unfortunate to see a gen1 expo go bye bye, but I have 3.27's (l/s... Go figure?) and they are atrocious. It makes my 4.0 feel like the 2.8 from my old b2.

On the door tag, I believe when you're looking at it (right side up) it's towards the bottom-leftish of the tag. It says Axle and there's a two digit code directly underneath. That's the code you need.

my axel code is d4 so the gear ratio is 3.73 . is this a good ratio for mudding and 4x4ing? my truck isnt a daily driver so would a different set of gears be something to think about?
