All E450 gas motors have 4.56 gears. It’s a modified Dana 80 axle, with 10.75” gears since 2007.
Well ... either me, or Ford, or internet posters ... are confused!
I always thought (from an earlier spec I no longer can find) that the Ford 2005 E450 cutaway chassis under my 24 ft. Class C had a 4:56.1 ratio differential in it. It sure pulls like it going up grades and when crawling along on rough dirt roads.
HOWEVER, my door sicker shows a rear axle code of "83" and per this chart the ratio is - 4:30.1! What is going on anyway?:
