* Transmission type: Was it a manual or automatic transmission? Manual transmissions had different gear ratios depending on the specific transmission (e.g., ZF-5, ZF-6). Automatic transmissions also varied (e.g., 4R100).
* Rear axle ratio: This is a crucial factor. Ford offered several different rear axle ratios (e.g., 3.55, 3.73, 4.10, 4.56) for the F250, each affecting acceleration and fuel economy.
To find the gear ratios for *your* specific 2000 Ford F250 diesel, you need to:
1. Identify your transmission type: Check the sticker on your transmission or the owner's manual.
2. Determine your rear axle ratio: This is usually stamped on a tag on the differential housing. You might also find it on a sticker in the driver's side doorjamb or in the glove compartment.
Once you have this information, you can find a detailed specification sheet online (through Ford's website archives or a parts website like FordParts.com) or in a repair manual for your specific truck's transmission and axle ratio.
