Yep, the door code will have the info. Code 35 is 4.10's if I remember correctly. Code 39 is 3.55. If your code is alpha-numeric as opposed to 2-digit, the alpha character indicates a limited slip differential. Check out the 'tech articles' section of this website, under 'decoders' for more info on axle codes, etc. You can also look on the ID tag attatched to one of the axle's diff cover bolts. The ratio will be stamped on it as well as the ring gear diameter and manufacturing code. An 'L' in between the first and 2nd digits of the ratio indicates a limited slip differential. The first digit may be hidden under the bolt.
