Howdy yall I have a 2001 F150 XLT 4X2 automatic Excab 4.6 V8 I am tring to find out what size ring gear I have in it so I can order a different ratio for it, the door sticker under axle says 18 so it has a 3.08 ratio but I can`t figure out what the ring size is so if you can help thanks.

There's a slim chance that it's a 9.25", but StrangeRanger is probably right. Look here:

It is.

And the 4.6 motor most likely got the 8.8 rear

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 01-16-03 AT 03:15 PM (EST)]Oops - I was thinking about the ".25" from the 3/4 & 1-ton 10.25".

i know about the 8.8 in the smaller motored trucks, but the "big" sterling semi float that comes in them...i thought it was 9.75....the sterling in the new superduties is 10.5...but basically the same as the old 10.25's
