EXAMPLE: HF38 = H190 with 3.889 ratio was factory fitted
Axle code is on Chassis Identification plate 1980-on, in the engine compartment. Starting in mid-80s, Axle Code is on door-jamb sticker.
Factory LSD has a sticker on the back of the diff housing.
Counting
To verify the ratio in the vehicle matches the original equipment (or build tag), you may count turns of the wheel vs turns of the driveshaft. If slightly less than 4 turns of the driveshaft results in one turn of the wheels, it is a 3.9 ratio. If it takes a bit more than 4 turns, it is a 4.111 ratio.
Even better is to note the stamped numbers on the ring gear. For example, this unit is stamped 39:11
39 divided by 11 = 3.545 ratio
Pinion gear is similarly stamped
