Default Will this g80 work??

Found this deal on Craigslist, i have a 2000 4 door blazer, is this interchangable or can i just take the g80 out of it?

Also how do you tell what gears your rear end has i.e 3.42 or 3.73???

You can determine what gears you have by following the procedure below:

Then mark a tire at a good location that lines up with a reference. If you can rotate both tires at the same time and speed, rotate them both one rotation and count how many lines pass the mark on the front of the diff housing. If only one tire wants to spin, rotate it two full rotations keeping the other tire stationary. This will account for the open differential.

What you count out will translate into your gear ratio. If you count 16 plus a little more, it will be ~4.10/4.11 gears. If you count almost 15, then it will be 3.73 gears. If almost 14, 3.42. And finally just a bit more than 12, 3.08. That should cover the common gear ratios.
Alternatively, you could take your VIN to the dealer & they can print you out the RPO list for your vehicle. There used to be a web reference (compnine.com), but they closed their doors...
