You're right but Ford does not offer 3.42. Ford Super Duty diesels have 3.31 and 3.55 for 3/4 ton trucks. The 1 ton has a 3.73 option for diesels. Clearly the 3.55 offers even better gearing when compared to GM's Allison with 3.73s after looking at the overall gear ratios.
Yes, my error for not researching. I actually got the 3.42 ratio from the OP's link, more the reason to discount the info on that page. Reading that site, the author's bias against Ford is pretty obvious. Bias of that sort has no place in a legitimate publication. Having said that, even the 3.31 ratio compares pretty well to the GM/3.73 combo.
