A rough way to id the ratio without opening the cover is to mark the driveshaft, and a rear wheel rotate the wheel one revolution while you count the turns of the driveshaft. number of driveshaft revolutions will be approximately your ratio. If you do have posi this is easy on a lift or jack stands. If it's an open diff, make sure both wheels are turning forward together, you may need a helper on the other side.
