    It could be a 3.73. Maybe not.

    You'll have to count the R&P teeth (divide the R by the P), or turn the shaft and count the rotations for one axle rotation (or vice versa). Only a little simple math is required. There's no other sure way of knowing.

    There might be a tag on the axle cover with the gear ratio assuming it has not been changed.

    If you turn the tire and count the revolutions of the tire and driveshaft make sure only one tire spins, if you do not have a locker.

    will be stamped in the ring gear on the edge, be like 41-10 for 41 teeth ring gear & 10 for pinion then divide, that would be 4.10's. Or 41-11 for 3.73's
