How to tell what gear ratio...

Looking at buying a truck from a long way away. What is the easiest way to ask a lady what gear ratio is in the truck? ISn't it somewhere in the glove box?

Depends on the year. There should be a tag in the glove box. Get the vin, someone on here can decode it for you.

Wrong

Previous post is correct on a gen 2 truck open the hood and look up at the under side of the hood white tag at the top center should list it if it is the OEM hood.

It will tell axle model and ratio.
