Default 97 dodge ram 4x4 rear ratios

I have a rear that was pulled I need to find out the current gear ratio. I don't have the truck it's self just the rear info. Can anyone inform me of how to find the ratio or a chart by chance of the numbers meaning.

do you have a picture of the diff cover?

The cast numbers are information of the axle differential housing, but I doubt you will get specific ratio information as nothing changed with the housing for different ratios. Cast number I believe would make it a 9.25" Diff cover picture could confirm that theory.

That tag doesn't really look like a typical ratio tag, and I'm not aware of a 0445 gear ratio, at least factory. There's no other tags?

Could always pull the cover. Gear ratio is usually etched into the gears themselves, or, count the teeth, and do some math. There may even be a tag on one of the cover bolts that stats gear ratio.
