No.

There should be a white plastic certification label on the driver door jamb. It will have an axle code.

You can also climb under and look for the tag on one of the bolts holding the rear cover on the rear differential. The ratio will be on it.

I'm 83 and not about to crawl under the truck without the Auto Club there to help me get back out.
