If there isn't a tag under one of the cover bolts; you're stuck pulling the cover to count teeth or looking for the engraved ratio on the ring gear.

On my 98 the underhood sticker said I had 4.10's, but it didn't seem right. So I jacked up the back, had my brother turn the wheel once around while I counted the driveshaft revolutions. Turns out I had 3.55's. (Probably changed by the 1 previous owner)
