VIN QUESTION
Tried to decode vin, not a whole lot of info, and the "officilal Ford site declared my vin invalid...there is no catagory for the 6.9 idi. So, how do I go about finding out more info like axle ratio, (door tag does not translate into a ratio that makes sense...3.54, but engine revs seem way to high at 55mph for that ratio...have 3.54 in school bus I drive, an e350, rund around 2000rpm at 55) trans type (either a t18 or t19 borg warner) fuel tank capacities and other tech info? Thx!!!

Try this site Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible) - Bullnose Forum at the top documentation
Should come to Specifications - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible) everything should be in there but give a look around or even join up.
Some of us are on both, cant get enough truck information

Oh on the VIN if you don't have it entered right it will say that, had the same thing with my 2 1981 trucks.
As for the gear ratio it could have 3.54's but your bus could have an over drive transmission and that will drop the RPM.

Your "About Me" profile says 1984 F250. It would have either a Dana 60 or Dana 61-1 rear axle.

All diesel idi trucks with 4 speeds came originally with t19's. If it's a 4x4 truck, it would have either a 3.54 or a 4.10 gear ratio. It could have more selection if it's 2wd. Post the code on the door sticker.

Ok.thx for the replies!! Found Garys site shortly after posting... Door label I think says "73" indicating 3.54s, but the tag is old and hard to read...even in the sun with a big magnifying glass...
Yes, bus has OD...probably what makes the difference...and is a Super Duty E450...2001?
