by driving it, 70 mph at 2000 rpms is usually 3.55, 2000 rpms at 60-65 results in 4.10 gears, if all else fails, u can read the VIN, look at the tag on the differential to determine the ratio, and finally, u can request a build sheet for free from ur local dealership, and it will tell ya, again they use the VIN...

This would also depend on what tranny he has and tire size. I run 70 mph with my NV4500 and 235/85R16s, but when I was running 215/85R16s, it was closer to 65 mph at 2k. And the manuals have a different OD than an auto, .76/.73 for the manuals, .69 for the autos.

If all else fails, jack the rear tires off the ground, mark the driveshaft and a tire and count how many times you have to rotate the driveshaft to get the tire to go one revolution. Or pull the plate off the diff. The ratio or # of teeth will be stamped on the ring gear.
