Using your vin #, email dodge and ask them for a build sheet. It'll say what gears you have in your truck along with alot of other info. The thread for it is on the front page right now.

My '98 2500 has as Dontdodge noted a sticker on the underside of the hood denoting which gears your have. Pop the hood then look directly up, it should say D60-3.55 or 4.10. 3.55 was the standard ratio with 4.10 and I want to say 3.73 being optional, but I am not positive on the 3.73, I might be pulling that number out of my butt. You can also get the build sheet from your local dodge dealer for free.
