Yep, but one number is covered by the bolt.

The second line that starts with 08 - there's a three before that, so you have a 3.08. If there's an L before the 08, it's limited slip, if it's a space, it's open.

Definatley 3.08 gears, only question is to wether it is LS or not.
As for not having an axle code on the door tag, my '00 F250 is like that too...

thanks for all the help. thought ratio was high. can run 70-75 with no trouble engine not reving up much at all. kind of like to put in 3:73 or 4:10 in ot with 34 X 9.50 15" LST on it sound good? 90% road 10% off road. or less gearing this is a DD
