How do I know if the gears in my Prowler are stock?

It occurred to me the other day when reading a post about gears, that I don't know if my Prowler has stock gears. I bought it a year ago and while I considered it stock, there were some minor modifications.

If it were a traditional rear drive car, I would jack it up, put it in neutral, rotate the tires and count driveshaft revolutions, but it isn't.

Is there a simple way to know if gears have been changed?

Look for the Electronic Ratio Adapter (ERA) in the trunk, right next to the transmission control module (TCM). ERA should be under the insulation mat, wires connected to TCM. The ERA is used for performance gears.

My ERA is on the rear bulkhead, so that really is not a good method.

I would go with Tony's way. My way, if it chirps second gear good chances it has gears.

Don’t think a 2nd gear chirp tells you anything

Mine is completely stock drivetrain & pretty much since new will chirp till es going into 2nd
