Where does the pinion gear go on a F250?
The driveshaft then runs to the differential pinion gear. This pinion gear turns the ring gear, which uses another gear reduction process to turn the wheels. This is the same concept for the front and rear differentials.
What should the gear ratio be on a F250?
A 4.30:1 gear ratio is very effective and popular in this division. Off-Road Only: For off-road only applications where top speed and comfort are of no concern it’s open season. Applications running gears with ratios lower than 5:1 is nothing outlandish for these types of F-250s.
What kind of gears do I need for my Ford F 350?
The following gears, lockers and install kits are available for 2008 to 2010 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks with Dana 60 front axles and Ford Sterling 10.5″ rear axles.

The driveshaft then runs to the differential pinion gear. This pinion gear turns the ring gear, which uses another gear reduction process to turn the wheels. This is the same concept for the front and rear differentials.
A 4.30:1 gear ratio is very effective and popular in this division. Off-Road Only: For off-road only applications where top speed and comfort are of no concern it’s open season. Applications running gears with ratios lower than 5:1 is nothing outlandish for these types of F-250s.
