Gear Ratio?
idk, i havent found anything that could decode my vin and give me my gear ratio is there anyone on here that can do it.. i was told i could find out by looking on the driver side sticker but it doesn't show what are the axle #'s.. i;ve looked under neath, where the differential cover is at there is this metal tag attached to the top right bolt it reads the date...

Here's a daytime one when I was traveling just outside of Flagstaff Az on I-40 with my 4:30's towing my TT in OD...you can tell it is in OD because if it were in 3rd it would be right at 3000rpms with the 4:30's
For the FACTORY gears offered on an Ex (3.73 and 4.30) this applies:
If you are UNDER 2000rpms at 65 in OD...you clearly have 3.73's.
If you are OVER 2000rpms at 65 in OD...you clearly have 4.30's
FWIW...the early Ex's (many? all? don't know) didn't have the axle codes on the door jamb stickers.
31 = non limited slip 3.73
C1 = limited slip 3.73
33 = non limited slip 4.30
C3 = limited slip 4.30
You will notice in this photo of my door jamb sticker it shows 31 for the axle code...that is how it came from the factory...I had my gears changed to 4.30's and while it typically isn't an Ex axle code...I now have a 33 (i.e. non limited slip 4.30)
