to determine the ratio you count the teeth on the ring gear and on the pinion gear and then divide the number from the ring gear by the number from the pinion

is there a way to tell without pulling the cover. i was told once you could count how many time the driveshaft rotates to one full rotation of the tire to figure it out. is that correct??

This is what I do to decipher the Rear-end code. Go to: http://www.americanclassic.com/ Click on the VIN decoder on the left side of display. Under axle codes check the year 1971. THA is/was a 3:07
