Question not sure what i have

i know the gears in my truck are not 3.73s could possibly be 3.42s but i highly doubt it.
3.42 to 3.73 i would not see a big difference in rpm drop.
anyways
i do have a
275/55/17
5.3
reg cab short bed
2100 rpm is 78-80
what gear would this be?
is there any way to tell with the in glove box data sticker?
i am really thinking it is 3.23s, for one its a DOG... lol
my 03 ran like a *****,and it had 3.73,but the 03 had different cam (stock) different ecm,etc etc
both trucks have tunes in them as well
thanks
Ed

no. the RPO code in the glove box is what you need.
GU2 2:73 ratio

GU4 3: 08 ratio

GU5 3:23 ratio

GU6 3:42 ratio

GT4 3:73 ratio

GT5 4:10 ratio
