Gear ratio

I just purchased a 2019 F250 4x4 with the 6.2 gasser. I have run my VIN thru two different sights but am unable to find out what my gear ratio is. Any help would be appreciated.

Check the door. Axle code will have a number. 4 is 4.30. 3 is 3.73 I believe.

The pumpkin is just a slang word for the rear differential. There's no need to crawl under the truck. As NCL said, open the driver's door and look look at the sticker (white, not yellow). Axle code will be listed there.

If you look at the rear axle it is the bit in the middle that is pumpkin shaped.

If all else fails can jack up rear end and count drive shaft revolutions vs one rotation of the tire. Less than 4 equals 3.73... slightly more than 4 equals 4.30 !

Good Luck.

Also so you can drive truck at 60 mph in overdrive or 1 to 1 gear and look at Rpm s ... with a little math and tire size circumference can figure it out that way too.
