wish i knew but you can look at the rear end and it should have a tag on it that says what gears the truck has. also the window sticker will say this 2. wish i could have helped more. and if all else fails when u buy a truck have the dealer put the gears u want in before u pick it up.

On the '04 F-150 the "rear end" ID# is found in the Vehicle Certification Codes located on the door decal. The VC Codes are shown just below the bar codes. Your "rear end" ID# will be under "AXLE". Code 26 means 3.73 non-limited slip. Code B6 means 3.73 limited slip.
