Looking at a 94, few questions

Looking at a 94 3500 dually 4 wheel drive.Pickup bed.
What differential gear ratio, or how can I tell, is there a sticker somewhere?
WHich auto transmission would this have?
Which transfer case?
Injection pump?
It has 222K miles, any common problems to look for?
What about ball joints, front suspension problems?
KDP fix will be on the top of my list if I get it.
Thanks

What differential gear ratio: 3.54, 4.10
Which auto transmission: 47rh
Which transfer case: NV241D or NV241DH not sure
Injection pump: 160 p-pump
front end problems: track bar is the biggest.

If it still has original hood and not been painted on inside, most have a sticker with model, type, gear ratio and which transfer case. It should have a 47rh trans. On the side of the timing cover in front of pump will be a tag with all information for engine (HP, model, serial, timing, etc.). Biggest problems are rust, blowby and oil leaks. I would plan on complete front end rebuild, add aftermarket or late model track bar and steering brace for steering gear.

Find out if the trans has ever been rebuilt. If not, it probably will need it.
