Go here and enter the truck's vin.

The vin should be on the driver's side of the dash and inside the driver's door.

VIN won't tell you that, look for the axle and tranny codes on the drivers door pillar and decode them here...

Ok so i've found out that i have a 3.55 rear end and a E40D trans. How good are these? i mean i know there's something wrong with my trans cause it has horriable shift shock and sometimes like to do it's own thing when driving.
