For the rear?

Look in the glove box, I dont exactly remember where on that stamp it is, but it will have a code like this somewhere...

GT4 - 3.73 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

GT5 - 4.10 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

HC2 - 2.76 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

HC4 - 4.56 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

HC8 - 3.21 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

HE3 - 3.07 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

HO4 - 4.11 Rear Axle Gear Ratio

Schooled mentioned the glove box.

I can't tell you for certain, but I know that many put it on the driver-side door. A little plate that gives the VIN, the tranny, gear ratio, often suspension settings, and other info. It's not in plain English, it's just got a bunch of codes, and you'll have to look them up. But all the info should be there.
