gearing question
There are two ways to find out yours. One is the ID tag that is attached to the driver's door frame. At the bottom of the tag there is a two digit code for axle. Your owners manual will decode what the axle is. If you don't have a manual, post the code here and we'll decipher it for you. The other way is to crawl under your truck. The rear end should have a metal tag on it with the axle ratio.

gearing question
on all the ones i am seen, most of the 4x4 with 300-i6 have 3.00 or 3.08s.
if it came from the factory with 3spd w/ overdrive, i generally seen 3.50-3.55.
but you just have to look to findout.
or use a tach, cruise at 60mph, and figure it out from there.

Not to confuse the issue, but there were many different combos put into these trucks. I would only trust the tag on the axle itself. a good example is my '82 f-100, came with a 232 v-6, 3-on-the-tree and 2.73 rears.
