There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number. ( they have to run it through their computer system )
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.

On a more general note the axle ratio is set by the need to have the vehicle travelling at its maximum speed (on the level with no wind) when the engine is producing maximum power. Any other axle ratio will give a slower maximum speed.
You'd have to look at the RPO code in the glove compartment to determine this, as there were a couple different options. The gear ratio for the front and rear axle will match.
Front axle nut should be a 35mm.
The ratio is on a tag on front and rear axle between 2 of the cover bolts
36mm
most definitely
Front axle nut on a 4 + 4? Should be 35 mm.

It sounds like the auto hub's are not disengaging. Check the vacuum line on the front axle
The standard axle ratio in '95 was, as you said, 3.45:1 and the 1995 performance axle ratio (RPO G92) was 3.07:1.Source: Proud owner of a 95 coupe
My 93 s10 Blazer has torsion bar suspension and I suspect yours does too, which would make it independent front suspension.
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
Yes, (in 4x4 applications the gear ratio/s match the front axle). 2 wd there is no front ratio to match.
