Where to look for rear end ratio on 06 RAM 3500

Where can I find what the rear end ratio on my 06 mega cab cummins is? I see a 4:10 is available, but don't see a reference to it on the original window sticker. It is it not specifically listed as an option, does that tell me it is NOT the 4:10?

It was a cost option ($44), so it should appear on the sticker. You can also check in your glovebox - there is a decal that lists the option codes. "DMF" is the code for 4.10 diff.

Excellent. Thanks. The owner's manual was anything but clear on this. While I am on the drivetrain - the '06 HD's have a new transmission. Is this new tranny a. worth it's weight in steel, and is it, as I am getting bits and pieces of, made in Japan by "Aisin" or the like? I had concerns buying the truck due to known tranny issues, but my dealer says the whole issue has been resolved with the new ones.

The 06 trannies are still the same as the 05s. The new automatics are for the 07s. The Japanese-made Aisin 6-speed automatic is used in the new chassis-cab models only. In January, there will be a Mopar-built 6-speed automatic for the pickups. Both these 6-speed autos are for the new 6.7L Cummins diesel only. The Hemi keeps its existing transmissions for 07.

The 545RFE used on 4.7 & 5.7 engines will also receive variable line pressure sometime in 2007. I'm not sure, but I think the 48RE will also receive it as well, but that may come later.
Best regards,
Dusty

Dusty, the 48RE gets killed off this December along with the 5.9L Cummins in pickup iuse (as opposed to the new chassis-cab model which already has the 6.7L Cummins and the Aisin automatic). In January, the diesel pickups will get the 68RFE, big brother of the 545.

Yeah, you're right. What I meant to say...and should've said...was the transmission for the Cummins will get variable line pressure (VLP).
Thanks for the correction.
Bests,
Dusty
