You can't make any assumptions! Get the damn build sheet. I thought I had it figured out what packages had what gears at one time BUT there is NO rhyme or reason. I've seen 20's with tow package with 3.55s and I've seen V6 RC trucks with 17s with 3.92s...
They used to have a "request build sheet" option under the "contact us", but I don't see it there anymore. Send them an email with your vin and ask them for a build sheet. Good to have one, even if you already know your gear ratio...

My 5.7 03 Hemi 4x4 SLT QC SB with a tow pack & plastic clad flower petal 20's, came with the crappy stock LSD and 3:55's.
I'm now the proud owner of a full set of Motive 4:56's and will soon be installing them to "wake up" my baby ha ha ha.

To request a build sheet for your truck, go to the following link and hit the “Send us and Email” hyperlink. Once you get to the new page, fill out the information including your VIN. In the description field, ask that a build sheet be sent to you. When I did it, it took three or four days to get it.

Keep in mind a build sheet may not be accurate if you are not the original owner and/or the truck has been modified. IMO, It's easy enough to just jack a wheel off the ground and count the drive shaft rotation.

Just got an email from Dodge that included my build sheet. Took 2 days.
DMHS - 3.92 Rear Axle ratio
DRBS - Corporate 9.25 LD Rear Axle
DRBS - Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle
Learned what other options my truck came with as well.
Thanks
Bill

Is the LSD a weak point? Any info or recommendations would be appreciated.

Put that rascal in the grass and stand on it... 3.55:1 will turn one wheel, 3.92:1 will turn both. The 3.55's aren't LSD to my knowledge.... 'Course, I've been wrong before, but I think the 3.92:1 9.25 rear ends are the only stock carriers on these trucks that are LSD.
I mean hell, you may as well have fun with it, right?
