I bet the majority of replies are going to say "pull the cover and get the numbers off it"

Probably needs an oil chainge anyways.


If there is no optional gear listed, then it has a base gear. Depending on engine, tranny, and what serries your truck is, there's a few base gears.

It looks like rearend has never been touched. I dont think anyone has ever changed the fluid. I will do more tomorrow. I am swapping out axles and backing plates tomorrow.
