4.825 is standard for a v6 auto. 5.125's are worthwhile with 31's

Jack one wheel off the ground . Count how many times the drive shaft goes around for one revolution of the jacked wheel and then doule it . ie if the shaft goes around 2.5 times its a 5:1 diff . if it goes around 2.3 times its a 4.6:1 etc . will be too hit and miss trying to guess between a 4.8 and 5.12 .

Actually, turn the driveshaft 2 complete revolutions, and your wheel will do either just shy of 5 turns or just over 5 turns telling you if it is a 4.875 or a 5.125
