Do you have factory tow package??? then 3:92's. If not maybe 3:55's. There should be a tag on the diff cover that will tell you.

NEVER ASSUME you have 3.92s with factory tow. The gears are a separate order item and the idiots doing the ordering often leave the standard 3.55s.
Check the sticker in the glove box, look at the rear axle for a tag, or order a build sheet from Dodge to be sure...

there may be a sticker on your Axel also...
or send an email to: customerassist@chrysler.com with your vin# and they will email you a build sheet. At least they used to..

i dunno how quick it will be this time of year with everything that's going on and all?????

I thought I read somewhere that ALL 1500's with 20's and the Factory Tow package came with 3:92's.
But not all 1500's that have 20's have 3:92's but rather 3:55 unless ordered with the 3:92's?????
