The most accurate method of determining a rear axle gear ratio is to look in the vehicle manufacturer's service manual.  The following Regular Production Option (RPO) codes identify the rear axle and trans axle overall final drive gear ratio's. These codes can be located on the RPO sticker in the glove box or in the trunk on most GM vehicles. These codes are arranged in alphanumeric order. Please refer to the information below

The following figure presents differential cover/cover gasket shapes. Counting cover bolts and cover shapes is a common method to determine which ring gear diameter differential you have in your rear wheel drive vehicles. See following paragraph for selection of correct Dana parts.

When ordering Dana/Spicer Differential Parts provide bill of material number. This number is stamped on your right hand side axle tube. It's a number like 603XX-X, 604XX-X or 605XX-X. With this number you can tell exactly what components the factory used in the assembly of your differential.
