Your door tag should have an axle code that you can use to find out the type and gearing using the link that Chance posted.

For example, my rear axle code is 84. This means that my truck has a 7.5 rear end geared at 3.45 and if it was a 4x4, the front would also be 3.45.

I disagree. I have seen 4x4 trucks with 7.5 rear ends.

I don't check older axles because they're not the right size for my Ranger.

While 2001-up that might be true on a 1995 anything other than a 4.0 will have a 7.5" axle.
