I just bought a new 2000 F-450 4x4 Reg Cab XL, 141"wb, 6.8 v-10, manual, 4.88 ratio limited slip.
I was plowing with a 3/4 ton chevy 4x4 w/5.7 auto.
One question I have is about the gear ratio. The ford is a 4.88 and the chev. is a 4:10; what is the difference?
Finally, the truck has a 15000 # gvw, how big of a v-box can I get away with putting on this truck?
Thank you.
Ron
