Irecently picked up 3/4 ton axles for my truck a nd my 14blt. ff had 4.10 but i dont know what truck they came out of I just picked from a pile. I'm not sure about yours. I would say 4.10 because I think that most of them came with that gear. you can divide the # of ring gear teeth by the pinoin teeth or vice versa and figure it out that way. By the way does it have the removable pinoin? That would make it easy to count the pinion gears.

I'd bet they're 4.11's but could be 4.56

4.10s are most common, but 4.56s arent out of the question. 3.73s are extremely rare.

What is common? I suppose that 3.42 or 3.56 axles would be more widely acceptable in the midwest and such where you don't have as many hills to climb.
