if you can read the RPO code in the glove box thats a place to start, also I believe there are some numbers on the rear end housing that may help, you may have to resort to counting gear teeth.
3:42 is a very common ratio for these type trucks.i found the number GM74 on the differentail casing.
Thats a CASTING NUMBER
Well, Someone here helped me with number. its g80. Now. Do I need to call a dealer to get ratio on that or what?
Sry for all the questions.
But I found this info on net. RPO FY LY DIVISIONAL RPO DESCRIPTION G80 76 88 AXLE,RR LOCKING TYPE
What to look for now?
YES
Thanks everyone for the help.
G80 just pertains to the axle being a locking rear axle, nothing about the ratio. There's another G code in the glovebox, that's the factory-installed ratio...
it is HE4.
