What axle ratio does the truck have?
The code, or sometimes the actual ratio, can also be found on the build sheet/sticker, in the glove box door, of some year GM's. My old dually had it there.
A higher number (like 4.10 or 4.56) means a lower ratio, which is better for towing power. Lower ratio means more torque multiplication and higher engine rpms at any given road speed. :)
A lower number (like 3.23 and 3.55), is a higher ratio, which sucks for towing.
