[updated:LAST EDITED ON 09-Aug-02 AT 06:50 PM (EST)]Front end is a Dana 44 TTB, probably geared at 3.55:1 or 3.73:1
Rear end is a Ford 9" or 8.8" Geared the same as the frontend.
Is your truck a manual or auto transmission? This info will help find out what xfer case you have.

The rear is an 8.8, the front is a d44 TTB, but it has 3.08 gears. Front and rear gears must be within 1% of each other.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
Check out my Gallery for a look-see.
Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!

And the trasfer case should be a borg warner 13-56. Crawl under there, it's stamped right on it.

Just throwing my two cents in here, but I've got a question. When I was researching possibly dropping the gear ratio in my truck, I found the 3.08 in a standard rotaion only for the D-44. Aren't the D-44 front ends a reverse rotation? If they are, the smallest ratio that I can find is a 3.54.
Not saying you're lying Mike. Maybe my info is wrong.

thanks for the input. Tranny is 4 speed.
Not sure what gears I have in the rear. The axle code on the sticker is 18 and I seen somewhere that that means its a 3.08 regular. I am doing some more research on it .
