Axle code 17, what ratio?

I just bought a new truck, a 95 F-150 4x4. The door tag code says for the axle code 17.

I looked at the metal tag on the diff itself and cannot recognize any thing that looks like an axle ratio number.

Can anyone help me out with identification?

Thanks,

It's a 3.31 open diff.

Thanks for the reply.

I guess I did see that number but did not recognize it as being a Ford ratio. I was used to the 3.08, 3.54, 4.10's that were the ratio's in the older 4x4's.

Is there a site where I can access the the code numbers for the newer trucks?

I realize its not very new but its new to me.

This PDF from Ford shows the '97 codes, but they span several year before & after.
