The codes in the glove box will tell you. Look here:

jack one wheel up and then rotate it. count the number of turns as compared to the drive shaft turns and you have the ratio. old john say three and a half turns = 3.50 ratio.

Much better site. I did a 1 sec google search and grabbed the first hit. Thanks

Please.

There is a metal tag under one of the bolts, it usually is bent around the bolt but it has the gear ratio on it. Just look at the differential.

Or just look at the RPO sticker in the glove box. Since most GMs don't have a gear ratio tag.
