what gears do i have?

how do i figure out what gears i have in my f150? is there a number on the door that i can decifer? or what? the truck is a 00, 5.4 4x4... its supost to have 235s on it but i bought it with 265s on it im just curious to know what gearing i have?

even with 265s it can still melt the tires .. and it accelerates way faster then my dads 03 f250 5.4

I think it says on the diff. Mine has a little tag that says, "3.73".

Look for the axle code on the sticker in the door jam, or you can look at the tag on the rearend. It should start 3L55 for 3.55 Limited Slip. Or 3 55 for a single track 3.55.
Post the door code here and we can decifer it for ya if you don't want to crawl under the truck.
