Like the title says, I have a 2008 Mustang GT Deluxe (manual) have 3.55 gears from the factory? Or do I have to have the "Premium" package....

The reason I'm asking, is because my GT Deluxe has 3.55's....but if you go to forddirect or the 2008 mustang ordering guide/etc. it says that only the 140A(premium package) has the option for 3.55's....(130A is Deluxe btw)

I bought the car new with 42 miles on it....The window sticker says it is a 2008 GT Coupe Deluxe with dark charcoal cloth, even though it has Black/Blue Jack Roush leather seats front/back with the signature...It has some other funny things on the window sticker, and the dealer is supposed to be calling me back about this, but I figured I would ask the pros.

I thought that the only difference between the premium and deluxe was...
-Leather seats
-Shaker500
But it turns out that deluxe stang's can order both of these as "options", and still be a deluxe.

So the only thing that is left to tell them apart is the 3.55's, right?
If not....how can there be no way of telling the premium from the deluxe apart from one another?


Sorry, I've been wondering about this and I kind of want to define a definitive line between the two if anything. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

3.55's and 3.73's are available as factory optional parts, don't think it matter what trim level you have. my 09 GT premium came with 3.55's as an option.

I think the 3.55s were an option and not part of any package. I dont think they are in there unless it lists it in the options but usually they all say the gear ratio no matter what it is.

I ordered my 07 GT deluxe to come with the 3.55 gears. It should have said on the sticker what your car came with since the 3.55 were like another $150 option. I think only the 05's came with 3.55 stock.
I think it says what axle you have at the sticker in the driver door sill.

look at your sticker at the optional equipment list,for my 07 it was a $100 option.my gt was a base model with no extras at all.

PM sent with a link to a PDF file which will help you decode the vehicle certification label sticker located on the driver door jam. This will also provide vin decode.
