Question Where is my ratio? (glove box/no axel stamp/no)

The sticker in my glove box is gone. I do not see the stamp anywhere on my rear axel. Where else could I find this? 2005 Dodge dakota extended cab 3.7L v6. need this for power/torque runs

you could do this two ways. the hard way: jack the truck up, make a mark on your driveshaft and turn your tires. with one rotation of your tires, that driveshaft will turn, 3.21, 3.55, or 3.92 times. so basically, does the shaft turn 3, 3.5 or 4 times when you make one rotation with your rear tire.

the easy solution: e-mail dodge and ask for the original build sheet. I know one of the guys on here has the email address to use for this...

I did the easy solution and they replied within about 48 hours.

if anybody else has a better idea, please share this with ozone.

thanks for the help. I want to know what hp I am getting to the ground. Looks pretty good, but I want to make sure I have the right ratio entered in my data logger.
