Zf gear ratio

After about 3hrs on the web I found these 3 ratios used in the ZF on Ford Trucks.

5.72, 2.94, 1.61, 1.00, .76 used on diesel
4.65, 2.60, 1.53, 1.00, .77
4.14, 2.37, 1.42, 1.00, .77

How do you tell the ratio on the tranny. Is it on the identification tag. And just to see what ratio in what truck. If you know the ratio can you post the engine behind and tranny code. Thanks to those who have helped.:-)

I should also mention that even though the dsl trannies had the 429/460 bellhousing pattern, they are not drilled for mounting the stater.

So they will bolt to a 460 but, there won't be anything to bolt the starter to.

Hope this helps

Zf gear ratio

The 96shop manual lists these ratios for the ZF S5-47, eirlier versions may have used other ratios:

Diesel version: 5.08/2.60/1.53/1.0/0.77//4.66 R
Gasoline version: 5.72/2.94/1.61/1.0/0.76//5.24 R
