5th line down on the manifactures plate
it should read something like
G52 G142
The 1st numbers are the gearbox the second lot is the diff size and ratio
you should have a 8" diff in the rear

The link is in the bible.
But just did mine and it said I should have 4.875 but actully there was 4.5 ratio so im not sure if the previous owner changed them or the code was wrong.
To size for a locker you need the diameter and supposedly that is the letter on the code.
