I requested a build sheet from DC which may answer the "as build"
question.
I wonder if back in '97 era someone ordered a vehicle they had an
option to pick certain gearing via a 'package group' or something(?)
I just can't see someone spending $400 to $1000 to regear from 4.10 to
3.73. Maybe they had to change both axles for some reason.

That's what I'm thinking too, and backwards from what I said about the
torque converter. Don't worry, this is Usenet.

Just checked and I received the build sheet. Looks like I have the
stock gearing of 3.73.
Here's a portion cut-n-paste from the build sheet:
<snip>
DGA - All 3-Speed Automatic Transmissions
DGDS - 3-Spd. Automatic 30RH Transmission
DHAP - Lock-Up Torque Converter
DHNS - Command-Trac Part Time 4WD System
DJJS - Dana 30/186MM Front Axle
DMEP - 3.73 Axle Ratio
DRJS - Dana M35/194MM Rear Axle
EAAC - All Engines
EPE - 2.5L Power Tech I-4 Engine
<end snip>
Also, evidently it had floor mats too. Who knew.:)

My build sheet said I had tinted glass - I don't have it now, though.
I also have the 'deluxe insulation group', and my favorite, '9
additional gallons of gas'. Thanks, Chrysler!
