Gears

Greetings, my first post here. I just bought a used 04 F150 with 7300 miles on the clock. Its a great truck, especially considering my last F150 was a 86 with a 300 six. My first question is factory gearing. The axel code on the VIN sticker is 19. Does anyone know what gear ratio I have?

My truck is Red/Silver two tone, 4.6, RC, XLT. Im going to put a power slider in, Excursion 18in wheels, tonneau cover, and a bed extender. Thats about it for now, maybe drop the rear 2in to level things out a bit.

This is a nice looking site, lots of info to be had. Im looking forward to owning my new truck. The only downside is that we tradded the wifes Taurus for the truck, that means she gets to drive my 05 Mustang now. Ive had the Mustang for 11 months and only put 3000 miles on it, I guess that will change.
