How can I tell if I have 3.42 or 3.73?

Post by CrazyZR5 »

I have a 2003 Sonoma Crew Cab ZR5 and want to know how to identify what ratio my Rear Axle is set at. I've only had the truck for 2 weeks and I'm just trying to get to know her a little better.

Check out this thread: Deciphering the RPO glovebox codes

Should give you all the information about your truck :D

As far as I know it is for any GM product .

So I would say, Yes. Though the identification plate will have the letter designation for GMC.
