I just joined the forum. I just purchased a 97 F-250 4x4 Heavy Duty. I'm a die hard Ford guy & was curious if anybody knows the specs on this truck such as what tranfer case it has, what axels, gear ratios, etc... It has a 7.5 L and it runs great! Love it so far!

 

Look at the door jamb on the drivers side. It'll have a bunch of codes on it, one is gear ratio. It has a Dana 50 Twin Traction Beam front end, and a Sterling 10.25 rear end. The Sterling is very tough. The Dana 50 is often swapped out for a Dana 60 straight axle from an F350. Transfer case is likely a BW1356, but if you crawl under you will be able to find a tag on it somewhere that says what it is. 460s are good motors, expect low fuel mileage. 9-12 MPGish loaded or unloaded.

 

Awesome, thanks for the info. I had an 87 class C motorhome with the 460 and I know the mileage isn't that good but you gotta love the power.

 

No problem. If you get the gear ratio off the door jamb, just do a search on google for the code and you should be able to find what it means that way.

 

Welcome to the club, Phil. Be sure to post up some pictures of your rig.
