I have a 1997 Ford F250 Light Duty 4.6L. (It looks like the 1997 F150 but with beefier suspension and frame.)

There should be a metal tag attached to the diff cover that identifies the size (8.8", 9.75", 10.25" etc.), the ratio which is either a 3.73 or a 4.10 on that particular truck, if I'm not mistaken, and whether or not it is equipped with Traction-Lok. This will be denoted as 3L73 (3.73 ratio locking diff) or 3 73 (3.73 ratio open diff). There should also be another tag that identifies the fluid type to be used (75W140). Hope this helps.

If you are desperate and get nowhere, drop the back-plate of the rear end and count both the ring and pinion gear teeth. Don't forget a pan underneath to catch the gear oil.
Spray a section off with CRC brake clean and mark a tooth on both gears with a china marker. Divide the small pinion gear teeth into the ring gear tooth total.
