Differential Gears??

I wanted to know if most or all SRW 7.3's came with the same differential gears. If so what are they. I have a 00' F250. With that in mind, I just installed 38.5's and wanted to know if changing those gears would increase my fuel mileage at all??

Your F250 should have 3.73 gears. Getting new gears will help many things, but don't look for any huge improvements in MPG's. Have you re-calibrated your speedo yet? Incorrect settings will give you false odometer and speedometer readings so you can't calculate mileage.
