Rear end ratios, unless changed by an owner (the report will only show this if done at a dealership), are relatively simple. If you are looking at a 2500HD or 3500, it will be 4.10 or 3.73 with a gasser, or 3.73 with a Diesel (the only factory option). In any case, the RPO code list will indicate the axle. The RPO code list will be on the new vehicle delivery report, and on a sticker inside the glove box. According to the VIN you posted, it is a Diesel (8th digit is "D", meaning LBZ engine series), therefore has a 3.73 axle ratio. I'm not able to pull up vehicle reports, so you'll have to wait for that.
