Should be on the label inside the glove box under axle ratio.

Just post your RPM's @ 60 mph (locked TC and OD) and we should be able to easily tell you...

This is if you can't find the tag...

Good luck,
Dave

Talking

If you go to your dealer with your vin number, they can print you a "build sheet" that will tell you everything that's in your truck.

I don't have any sticker in the glovenox on my 05. What other info am I missing?

I do know the axle ratio is stamped on the right end of the axle shaft. It is hard to see. a long part number ends with something like 3.7LS (3.73 with limited slip)

Childofthewind,

Are you sure it is not posted on the top of your glove box, where you kinda have to look "up" to see it? That is where mine is. If you are looking only on the "floor" of the glove box, it probably is not there.

I double checked, nothing on any side of the glovebox, or on the "ceiling" above it.

Is there anything on this other than the axle ratio? I know the axle ratio, so I don't care about that.

that tag tells you all the build data for your truck. It will have paint codes options that are installed and I can't remember what else.

I got an 03 with 6 speed. AT 70MPH I am at about 2100rpm. I am pretty sure mine is the 373 rear end.
