Default VIN Number decoder/specifications

I was wondering if there is any way that you can find a decoder that tells you all about the specs of your truck i have a 1995 dakota sport 5 speed 5.2 and need to find out front differential ratio and there is no tags on diffs and the hood tag has been ripped off and i was wondering if there was a way you could look up a vin decoder that told you the ratios if anyone can help me find a decoder or wants to compare their vins so i know mine has the same equipment i would greatly appreciate it thanks.

There is a link in the FAQ section to email Dodge for a build sheet on your truck by VIN.
Really easy to do and you will get it within a day or so.
