3:55 yes or no?

Hi...I am convinced there is no rear 3:55 ratio available for a 2005 and up F250/350. Am I correct or is there a 3:55 option (if so I can't imagine who would want it)

Just trying to end a 'discussion'

Thanks

No 3.55 in 05,06,07.
Not sure but I think Ford made it optional on the new 08s.
People would want it for fuel economy.

I'm fine - I have the 4:30 LS

Yeah - it's the 2008 model in question

It just a 'discussion' I'm having with another guy. He says that he 08's have a 3:55 available. The 'truck builder' on the web shows yes, but all the available literature for the 08's(cyber and hard copy) and towing guides show only a 3:73 and up .

Yep. Ford made the 3:55 an option on 6.4l Job 3 trucks as well eliminating the 4:88 rear as an option.
