Howdy folks. Our work vans (02 and 03 E250's) have a 24 axle code on the door sticker. I can't find anything, anywhere as to what ratio that is. I could crawl under and look, but that would require effort. Thanks in advance.

A 24 should be a 3800 lb with a Ratio of 3.54:1.

Thank you gentleman. Why the 3.54 and not a 3.55? Any specific reasoning or is it just another "Ford" thing?
