Where is the diff gear ratio tag?
Anyone knows where is the diff gear ratio tag located? If its not there then how do you determine the ratio whether its 3.9 or 4.1?

Block your front wheels
On level ground, put the rear of your car up on jackstands (good ones). Make sure that your car is stable.
Put the transmission in neutral.
Chalk mark the pumpkin and the driveshaft.
Chalk mark a wheel where it will be visible.
TURN THE DRIVESHAFT.
Count the number of turns of the driveshaft it takes to turn one wheel one time.
The number of times (including fractions) the driveshaft must turn to turn the wheel onetime is roughly your gear ratio.
