Found it, here you go.

These are the codes for 04-08 F150s:

19 — 3.55 non-limited slip (F-150, Econoline)
17 — 3.31 non-limited slip (F150, Econoline)
H9 — 3.55 limited slip (F-150, F-250)
B6 — 3.73 limited slip (F-150, F-250)

Anytime!

Keep us posted on your upgrade. Wish I could afford some gears currently, but they are on my never ending "Wish List".

I'll try to find this out for you.

Know some had 3:55s, other 2:73, but since I haven't owned one of these MY's I don't have the info handy or first hand knowledge.

We'll see what I can turn up for you.

EDIT: Here's a good site for people to use on knowing what gears would be best for your setup.

EDIT2: And another,

Okay, spoke with some of my buddies from another site & here is what they had to say. What you will look for depends on whether you look at the rear diff or the door post.

If looking at the rear diff:

There were many possible stock gear ratios. The first 4 charcters on the bottom line of numbers on the metal tag hanging off one of the rear diff cover bolts is the gear ratio and diff type(open or LS), you'll probably have to remove the bolt to get all the numbers you need. Typically you'll see 3L55 or 3 55 with a blank space where the L would be. The L of course signifies a limited slip, no letter there means open.

If you look on the door post:

Axle code is on the drivers door post
12-2.73
17-3.31
18-3.08
19-3.55 (seems like most f150's)
25-4.10
68-4.88
There are 21 possible axles but only the second digit is the ratio code. If it has a letter then it's limited slip, but the last digit will still match up with the ratios given here (B9 is limited slip 3.55). The exceptions are codes 72 and 73which are 4.63 and 5.13 respectively.

Here's a nice handy link for an Axle Decoder Chart:

Good luck on your mods!

Simply amazing how it continues to grow, until you get a new truck.

Then the cycle starts over again.
