If it was the stock Class III towing package, 3.55s. Look at the axle code however to see for sure on the door jam sticker. Also that will tell if limited slip or not.

Just look up the axle code on your driver's door sticker and look it up. It's here on the site somewhere.

This will eliminate all the guessing, which won't get you anywhere.
