How to find out gears and tranny?
How to find out gears and tranny?
How would I go about finding out what my gear ratio is for my rear and front? As well as finding out what transmission I have? I've looked at the sticker on the door panel didn't help. Nothing inside the glove box. I just wanna know what gear ratio and tranny I have. Thanks
well there killer, for the gear, look on the differential. there's going to be a metal tag attached to one of the bolts holding the differential cover on. tells you what you have. in my case, it was a ford 9.75 rear end with 3.55 gears

If you have the 4.6L, you have 8.8". If you have the 5.4L, you have a 9.75" rear gear.
All automatics are the 4R70W.
Read your driver's door sticker for the Axle code.
1997-2003 F-150 axle codes:
19 = 3.55 open
H9 = 3.55 LSD
26 = 3.73 open
B6 = 3.73 LSD
27 = 3.31 open
18 = 3.08 open
25 = 4.10 open
B5 = 4.10 LSD

APT has now posted the info needed to interpret the label.

I have an 01 SCREW as well. They are all 4R70W transmissions. I have an H9 3.55 LSD.

I believe the 4wd is electronic for Expy and uses the TC system to apply pressure to the slipping wheels as necessary. More like AWD vs 4WD. Could be wrong as I'm not as familiar with them
