    Axle ratio unless someone has changed it is 3.55. Is there a flat spot on the bottom looking at the rear of the rear diff? Do you have ABS brakes?

    If you want to, post a pic of that pumpkin and we'll have no problem telling you the axle and spline count.

    No abs and a 2001 automatic, safe bet you have a 29 spline Chrysler 8.25 with 3:55 gearing. Fun part will be opening it up to see if you have limited slip

    Like Jim said, its an 8.25. And if its original it will be the 29 spline.
