No, it's not in the VIN#...
The Axle ratio code is on a special part of the rating plate on the door.

see this page of mine.. first the top for the location (Position 12)...then near the bottom for the de-coding.

I wasnt sure about the tag on the door as the door might have been changed but it might not of either.
The other tag was on the cab.
Ill go look at door tag.

It came up as saying the truck had a v8 and a automatic.
The truck has a 6 with a 4spd?
Tag on the door and the cab has the same vin number?

Code 24 = Dana 60 - 4.10 Ratio
Trans K = Automatic = C6

VIN# contains engine code

F26HPFA7167

F26- F250 4x4
H= Engine code = 351M
P = Plant build code = Twin Cities
FA7167= Consecutive build number

F264 - Pickup code for axle weight spec = w/7400 lbs
