nice truck.

 

Thanks for the info. Didn't realize my truck had so many options. Every day it looks I a better deal.

 

how would I find out about my truck? is there a website? fairly new to this truck and fords/diesels

 

Here you go:
Comprehensive Chevrolet, Saturn, GMC, Hummer, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Geo, Dodge, Plymouth, Jeep, Chrysler, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda Truck, Mercedes VIN Decoder

 

this list options, how do I know what was installed, my shows three axle options, on the door sticker under Axle is "C5"do you know what that means?

 

that one can be found here:
What rear end ratio is in my Ford , do I have positraction? - Drivetrain.com

 

So, I have a 4.10 Limited Slip rear end, this truck will see some towing but mostly Highway and back up DD. what would be the prefferable set up here?

Is this something a mechanically inclined person can change?
Do I have to change rearends?
Do I leave it alone and look else where to increase MPG?

Currently at 2500 RPM I am running 76 per speedo, I get about 13 MPG, I need better milage so any advice would help.

thanks for the link, ya'll are a font of info

 

slowing down drastically will be the biggest help.can you stick to 55mph top speed? you'll see a large gain if you can.
if you must drive these speeds,you can't overcome the wind drag,but swapping the rear axle to one with 3.55's is the cheapest solution.you'd have to swap the front pumkin to match too though if you've got a 4wd.
build a low custom front air dam will really boost economy too at those speeds by forcing most of the air to the sides rather than under the aero unfriendly under body.combine an air dam with 3.55 swap and you'll really boost out there on the hwy.

for a truck used for occasionally towing only,it's a no brainer to run 3.55's instead of 4.10's though yes.
for that matter if i had a mostly hwy dd driver, id want 3.08's (no longer sold for this axle though.) wouldn't be much fun for any serious towing though and you'd wish you had your truck back anyway,even if the 3.08 ratio was still offered.3.55's are still a very good all around performance gear.it's not like that's a eco car ratio or anything.it's still well within "real truck" performance levels,just not a match for towing performance of the 4.10's or lower,but like i say,since that's not your norm,you won't care if she starts out and pull hills as strong for those occasion tows when it could mean (depedning on how you drive) saving hundreds per yr in fuel.
all depends on how much you drive too.if i didn't drive much, a 460/c6 truck would be just fine.since i drive a alot,that old school setup would cost me thousands per yr more than the diesel/e40d setup.
it's all in how you use 'em and how often.one mans ideal truck could be anothers miserable and costly experience.
