There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.
3 You can count how many times you have to turn the driveshaft to get one complete turn of the tires.
4 You can divide the number of teeth on the ring gear and divide by number of teeth on the pinion.

I believe the axle code is listed on a sticker on the end of the drivers door The axle code will correspond to an axle ratio Once a person knows the axle code , the ratio can be looked up
On a 2003 Ford Explorer : Open the drivers door and there is an information sticker on the latch pillar You will find the axle code under " axle " Once you have the axle code you can determine the axle ratio
In order to determine what axle and axle gears you have there will be a metal tag that is stamped with the gear ratio on the cover bolts and Dana has a number raised on the right bottom side where the axle tube enters the pumpkin. Between the two it will tell you what axle and ratio you have. If you have a limited slip then you axle ratio would read 3L55 instead of 3 55
These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92 These were the options in 2000: [DMC]=Axle Ratio - 3.21 [DMD]=Axle Ratio 3.55 [DMF]=Axle Ratio 4.10 [DMH]=Axle Ratio 3.92
Like 3 .42

what is rear end axle ratio
It will be the same as the rear axle. Or take the VIN to the dealer, it is coded into the VIN number.
Check the SPID in your glove box. one of the G** Codes will be the rearend ratio G80 means you have a locking(posi) Rearend. GU2 AXLE REAR , 2.73 RATIO GU4 AXLE REAR , 3.08 RATIO GU5 AXLE REAR , 3.23 RATIO GU6 AXLE REAR , 3.42 RATIO GU7 AXLE REAR , 2.77 RATIO GU8 AXLE REAR , 3.90 RATIO GT2 AXLE REAR , 4.77 RATIO GT3 AXLE REAR , 4.55 RATIO GT4 AXLE REAR , 3.73 RATIO GT5 AXLE REAR , 4.10 RATIO Anything else, let me know, I'll look it up.

Depends on each individual truck. Look in your glovebox....there is a label from the factory with parts codes on it. The one with G refers to your gear ratio/ ring & pinion. GQ1 -- AXLE REAR, STD RATIO GT4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.73 RATIO GT5 -- AXLE REAR, 4.10 RATIO GU4 -- AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO GU5 -- AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO GU6 -- AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO G80 -- AXLE REAR, LIMITED SLIP (POSITRACTION)
check for the data tag on the rear diffrental cover if not there you can jack up the truck make a mark on the pinion flange and one on the axle flange, lugnut or tire what ever will work for a refrence. turn pinion one turn while counting number of turns on axle end. the axle end number will be the gear ratio like 2.73 or 3.55 and so on. you can also look at the vin tag and use a brake down of the vin to determine the ratio
