1. Whats the rating of the snow plow package springs?
2. How do you know if you got 4:30 gears other than the window sticker and build sheet. Is it stamped somewhere?
3. Cab Lights.. looking from the front of the truck, the lower part of the lights (black base) looks to be elevated up off the roof of the truck by a small amount. Is this normal or should they be seated down on the roof?
4. Bed bolts, heard they were a one time use. So if bed of truck needs aligned to cab, and they loosen the bolts to do so, they then need to use new bolts?
5. Do I need to have a google acct to get the ford pass app or is there another way

It should be on a tag on the rear end, but it'll probably be a code and you'd need a list of the codes. Here is an easy way you can figure out gear ratio without any information on the vehicle. If you have a positraction differential, jack up rear end so both wheels are off the ground. Put a mark on the driveshaft. Spin the rear tires exactly one revolution while counting the number of revolutions the driveshaft makes. If you have 4.30 gears, your driveshaft should turn 4.30 (about 4 1/3) times to one spin of the tires. If you have a non locking differential (when you jack the rear end up with both tires off the ground they will spin opposite directions), you just jack one wheel off the ground in the above procedure.
1. Snow plow pkg. spring ratings depend on truck configuration. For 2019 250s and 350s, the range appears to be 5600 - 5990 lbs.
2. Check the axle code on silver certification label on the driver side B pillar. “4M” indicates the 4.30 locking axle.

As far as I know, you need a Google account to download anything from the Google Play Store to your Android device. Google already knows everything this is to know about you so the Google account is just a minor thing.

I looked for a tag on the rear cover and couldn't find one. Looking in wrong place?? I dont have the truck so cant jack it up and would like to make sure it does indeed have the 430s

2019 F250 CC so springs should be what rating.?
I will have to look at the door cert label when I get to the dealership.

Frightening isnt it.
Where can i find more detailed info on what ford pass does and doesnt do for me. Before I jump the bandwagon and find out I dont really need it and gave google more of my personal info.

On the Play.Google.com page for FordPass it should list the features of the app. The only thing I was using it for was the Vehicle Health Report. Last I heard that was being deprecated so there isn't anything else I'll use the app for.
My FordPass app informs me of the current temperature and weather. I also have a Field Service Alert concerning Door Latch Freezing Concerns. It offers to "Find things to do" or "Find coffee nearby". I do occasionally use the "Find fuel stations" function, though GasBuddy is my goto app for fuel. I thought the "Vehicle Health Report" would be handy, but by the time I received it the report was far from accurate.
All in all, it has proven to be pretty worthless.

6.7 Diesel engine: 5990 lbs.
Hey Jim, do you know if they use a different spring code from the 18 to 19 or F250 to F350?
I ask because I have an 18 F350 6.2 gas with spring code CCNN and my front GAWR is 5990.
You would 'think' Ford would be consistent but that might take common sense..
Weird looking at your door tag with the same NN springs, your RAWR is 6780, mine with the
same springs is 7230...

It's apparent the GAWR involves much more than just springs. The codes on mine are - DDDD (5600 lb) and ULC (9900 lb). I do not have snow plow prep.

Good catch! Our 4x2 truck is fitted with “small” LT275/65R18E tires, so it gets a lower rear GAWR due to the tires’ lower load rating (3415 lbs. per tire @ 80 psi cold).
I may have to “upgrade” to LT275/70R18E tires one of these days...
