Kanman's way is the official way.
But if it's on topic in this forum, there's an easier way. If it's a '99-up SuperDuty pickup with single rear wheels (SRW) and diesel engine, then it has a 3.73 rear axle ratio.

Here's the code from the 99 service manual
Mine says E2 but is is not a chassis cab truck with the narrow axle. It is just a 350 DRW with a pickup bed. Wonder what that means? I have double and triple checked it too.
