Somebody educate me, please.

How can I tell what rear end/gear ratio my truck has? The sticker on the door seems to be in code, and I don't yet speak "fordonics"! Also, does rear wheel size have any effect, and if so what effect does it have?

Look for a tag under one of the bolts on the rearend pumpkin. It will have some numbers like 3 50 for 3.50 to 1 or 3L 50 for 3.50 to 1 limited slip.
