If you are asking what the ratio is, proably the best way would be to pop your rearend cover, and stamed on the ring gear is the ratio. 41-10 is 4.10, 41-11 is 3.73, and 43-14 is 3.07.

I reccomend this because your rearend fluid poralby hasn't been changed in many years. And it is a simple job, besides the awful smell of gear oil.

It would almost certinally be 3.73 then. Was standard in 6-cylinder trucks. Unless it says different on the glovebox option sheet, or the rearend has been swapped out sometime in the past.
