Take your VIN into your friendly neighborhood dealer, and they can print you a list of all options, etc.

John...the gearing is easy to find out, and there are a couple of ways to do it.

Easiest.....Crawl under the rear of your rig, and look at the rear dif. There will be a tag on the left side of the cover with some numbers on it. The ratio will be on there...it will be something like 3.07, 3.55 or 3.73.

Or.....jack a tire up, and rotate the tire once while counting the number of times your driveshaft turns. That will be your ratio.

if you can't find a tag on the front or back, do the spin test. if it's hard to tell from one spin, spin it ten times and divide...that worked better for me.
