2008 is the two valve. Three valve didn’t come out until 2009.

2V is a great engine. Many of our sub contractors (plumbers, electricians, drywall) have the 2V in their vans that tow a tool trailer loaded out not as much as you're towing but probably pretty close. 400-500 thousand miles on a lot of those vans.

The eighth digit of the VIN can indicate the number of valves. If it's a W, it's a two-valve engine, and if it's an 8, it's a three-valve engine.
So...mine is a 2 valve.

FYI: I've just about figured out what's wrong with my refrigerator. I'm waiting on the part. If my replacement part fixes it, I'll let everyone know how I figured it out.
Basically, for my issue (lights on, fan on, not cooling), it's either the compressor board or the compressor. If the three pins of the compressor show very little resistance on a multimeter (like a couple of ohms), then the compressor is good, and it's the compressor board (as long as 12v is going into the compressor board). If there was no light and no fan, and it wasn't cooling, and 12v was going into the circuit board, the circuit board would be bad.

You are correct:
An axle code 19 on a Ford F150 is interchangeable with other axles that have the same gear ratio. The number 19 indicates a 3.55 ratio, and this code is also known as L9.
Here are some other axle codes for Ford F150s:
15: 3.15 ratio, also known as L5
27: 3.31 ratio, also known as L3
26: 3.73 ratio, also known as B6
H9: 3.55 ratio, also known as L9
You can find a car's gear ratio by decoding its VIN. The VIN is often located on the driver's side of the dashboard, where the dashboard meets the windshield, or on a sticker inside the driver's side door.

Everchill has the 12v-24V DC Danfloss style direct current compressors. It is definitely not 120V AC.

Yes the compressor runs on DC only but that big box on the side is a dedicated inverter for the compressor.

The RVs use cheap knock offs and that is not how the 3 Everchills I worked on are. The compressor board is separate and does not put out 120V.

We have a residential frig the draws 56W off the same inverter that runs our entertainment center and our chest freezer. A lot simpler and cheaper.

I took a closer look (haven't looked in a long time) and they have gone to a permanent magnet motor that are not 120V but instead a inverter driven motor that's really not a DC motor or a 120V but variable frequency motor similar to the inverter compressors used in the high efficiency variable speed a/c units.
