1992 pickup, what gears do I have?

Trying to figure it out, Ive seen some threads that talk about a G# on the vin tag, but I dont see it... Any tips?

1992 pickup, v6, 5speed, 4x4.

Wut? Your doing something wrong. Look for a code that starts with a "g" You should have at least a 410s

I have never heard of 4.70 gears, let alone a 3.15 gear set.

Only factory gear set up's I know of are:
4:10
4:30
4:56
4:88

Then in the aftermarket you can get:
5.29
5.70

I think you have 4:10...

Wellp, Im stumped. Looks like you might have 3.15s. That sux. Hopefully someone else chimes in with some different information.

Follow the instructions on how to spin and count on the link.
Easy enough. Take off your shoes if ya gotta.

Worst case use the VIN at a dealership and look up what came in it.
