need help figuring my tucks GCWR. i have a 1987 f250 4x4 7.5l 460 cid can anyone help

 

It will depend on your GVWR and the trucks gearing...what does your door plaque say

 

the gvwr is 8800 how do i find out the gearing

 

The easyest way is to take the number off the axle tag that is afixed to one of the cover bolts. Go here, and punch in that number, your front number will be 7 didgets and look something like mine 610312-4...I just remembered that the ratio is stamped right on the tag, example 3.55...so forget the link for now

GCWR

ratio max
3.55 11,000 lbs
4.10 11,000 lbs
4.10 16,000 lbs (I asume a fifth wheel from here down)
4.63 28,000 lbs
5.13 26,000 lbs

 

The axle code is also on the door pillar decal, Ford Axle Code Chart .: Articles

 

ok my tag says L551027802 and then V127C

 

Is there a chance that the "L" is really a "3"?...thereby giving you a 3.55 ratio

 

ok its a c9 the capacity is 6250

 

and the ratio is 3.55

 

ok with nowhow do i figure my GCWR

oh ok so 11000lbs is my GCWR. right thanks for the help
