If you don't even tell us what you are driving, how are we supposed to help you? I could take a stab in the dark, and guess a Dodge Ram..... but, half-ton? 3/4 ton? 1 ton??????? Help us help you.

You have a 9.25 rear end. The tag was supposed to tell you gear ratio, and maybe if you had a limited slip of some sort.
