I don't know if the newer ones are like this, but my '91 has a tag under one of the bolts on the differential cover that has the gear ratio stamped on it.

You have 3:55 gears. 3:55 gears came with the offroad package in 1997 1998 2000. In 99 you could get 3.73.

There is no such thing as 3.75.

On 1997-2000 F-150s you could get 3.08, 3.31, or 3.55 gears.

Exceptions: 99 ORP 3.73, 2000 7,700 payload 3.73
