Gear ratio?
Can anyone tell me what gear ratio I have? Truck is a 1990 F250 with 5.8,E40d. 4x4. The door sticker says 29 for axle codes but my books don't show any charts for that. Thanks.

That's kind of depressing, but thanks. I dropped a trailer wheel in the ditch a while back and when I gassed it to get it out both rear wheels were digging in and spinning. Hoped it was limited slip. Oh well, thanks again.

I put a spooler in the front end of my 4X4. It really helps for traction big time! Atleast you have 3 tires spining at all times! Turning didnt seem much worse either. I only use 4 wheel when i really need it.

Oh, I'm not really worried about it. I just recently bought the truck to haul my Jeep back and forth to the dunes. I'd rather beat up the toys than the daily driver.
