By checking the code on the door sticker of your 2010 Ford F-150, specifically on the VIN sticker inside the driver's side door, you've likely noticed the axle code H9. This code signifies that your truck is equipped with a Ford 8.8" limited slip differential with a gear ratio of 3.55 and a capacity of 3800 pounds. The H9 axle is also used in certain model years of the Expedition, with a gear ratio that falls in the middle range. If your vehicle has the H9 axle, it's important to remember to add limited slip differential additive when changing the differential fluid regularly to prevent damage.

In American terms, H9 indicates that you have a 3.55-liter engine. A limited-slip differential is also known as a traction lok, meaning you will require XL3 additive for it.
