paul, just count the teeth on each gear, then divide the number of teeth on the ring gear by the number of teeth on the pinion gear

Many do, some don't. I've had original Ford that have the 3.73 on them and another 3.73 set from Ford that didn't.

Ford 8.8 gears *should* have some sort of stamping / engraving on their pinion gears. My last two sets of 3.73s did.
