Hi, I just recently purchased a 1999 Limited with only 58K on it. I would like to know if there is a source where you can input the serial number and find out all the options and gear ratios of the truck when it was built.
Thanks, Dave :exp:

Thanks Bashman for the link, it ends up that I have a limited slip 4:10 rear diff, should be good for towing, but not great for mileage.
