According to the door code it should have 3.55 gears, open diffs I believe.

Not terrible, beats 4.10's with the c6 anyways.

I wouldn't pay more than 2 for that truck. Figure the truck is probably a 1500 truck at most, there's 750 dollars worth of turbo on it though. And it's already installed.

All the old motors burn a little, or leak some oil. It's probably fine, just he's used to dads 20xx King ranch remote start heated seats affair.

Axle code 39 is a sterling 10.25 the gear is 3.55

of course I cannot say that it has not been changed.. need to verify the tags on the Axles to be sure.

Yeah I just realized thats the door tag, looking at the pictures again, obviously not the original doors. Figured he would send me the numbers matching the truck not just the door........

MY BAD X26 not X20 ... I looked at the VIN again and X26 is Ford F-Series, F-250HD, Super Cab, 4WD
X20 is 2WD... I have Old eyes

I don't have a link I just read the VIN and look at a Table for the VIN positions
