what gear ratio do I have?

[MOSTWANTED]

Tried a quick search but didn't find an answer. How do I find out what gears are in my axles? Is there somewhere I can decode the VIN or something?

Most have 3.73

An oasis report from a Ford dealer.

You can look on your door plate and get the axle code , pretty easy search from there

I think the diff cover bolts will have a sheetmetal tag stamped with the ratio.

Thanks for all the replies. I will crawl underneath and check when it stops raining

Easy... SRW or DRW? What tire size and what RPMs at 70 MPH? If you're around 2000 RPMs on stockish tire size at 70, you have 3.73s.

It's a single rear wheel, stock tire size, 265 iirc. 70mph without OD? 2000 rpms @ 70 sounds about right.

Tag on the inside drivers door frame looks like the one on the link -

look bottom center where it says axle and then do a search with that code and it will tell you. Or you can crawl under and look for the tag on the diff bolt but i believe you still have decipher
