you can do what I did and email crysler requesting a build sheet on your truck. They will go off of your VIN number and tell you everything that came factory on your truck, gears and all. Great info

Glove box sticker is quickest way to find your gear ratio but you may also want to get your complete build sheet from DC. Send email with your VIN to customerassist@daimlerchrysler.com and they'll send it to you. Takes them a few days but you'll get it.
