Dodge Axle Ratio?

Window sticker on a Dodge 3500 truck that I am looking at (2016)says Aisin 6 speed auto trans 3.42 and just below that says transmission oil cooler 4.10 axle ratio on the same sticker. Which is it 3.42 or 4.10?

    The Ram brand was created following Chrysler's acquisition by Italian automaker Fiat S.p.A., and the plans called for Dodge switching to an exclusively car-based lineup with all pickup and future heavy-duty trucks by Chrysler being sold under the Ram brand. This started in the 2009 calendar year.

    Look it up it was made the LEGAL name in Model Year 2013. Every Dodge/RAM up til then had "Dodge" label on it somewhere. My 11 and my Dad's 12 each had "DODGE" on the eye glass indent at the top center of the dash.

    Lucky for Chrysler they weathered the tough times during the several ownership changes. Some of this was put in place to maximize break up value.

    Unless you are planning to tow over 29k combined stick with the same setup but with 3.42 gears.
  • The truck was ordered with the optional 4.10, the standard gear set is 3.42 but can be replaced with an optional gear set.
