Default Diff ratio?

Sorry for the stupid question. Is there a way I can tell what my stock diff ratio is? VIN perhaps?

you can look on the rear end itself- you will see a tag with the name GETRAG on it (that's who makes it) you will also see the ratio in one of the line items...

Also, if you look under the drivers rear hatch compartment, you should see an RPO or production sticker listing all of your installed options from GM...if you have one that says G92- you have the 3:15 rear axel ratio...this is for automatics only, if it does not state G92 it is a 2:73 rear gear. All 6 speeds came with the 3:42 rear axel ratio.

Hope this helps!

1600 74 1600 68
1700 79 1700 72
1800 83 1800 77
1900 88 1900 81
2000 93 2000 85


3.9 4.10 Rear Gears
RPM 6th RPM 6th
1300 53 1300 50
1400 57 1400 54
1500 61 1500 58
1600 65 1600 62
