    Read the truck info sticker, probably in the door jam.

    There should be some sort of a plate on the pots that will tell you what the rears are or call dealership and give vin # and they should be able to tell you what it came out with. But that is not a guarantee as to that`s exactly what gears are inside as they could have been changed.

    Get under the truck and look at the axle housing. If you are facing the rear of the truck and looking up at the housing, there should be a metal tag spot welded to the housing on the drivers side close to where the differential goes in. There should be some numbers on there you can use to ID the rear ends with.
