autos came with 3:08's. most manuals came with 2:73's and 3:08's were a option. you can look on the differential tag it will let you know the ratio and a code to whether or not it is trac-lok.

Where it says AX on the far right on the bottom it will say 1 of the following 3 letters. M,Z and E.

M=2.73:1
Z=3.08:1
E=3.27:1
