Yes that is a Ford Tloc and it will work just fine for you. There are tons of threads on tlocs and gears, use the search function. It's your decision on the gears but most guys go with 3.73s or 4.10s

With regards to the gears it depends on what kind of driving you do. If you are going to be doing tons of highway driving I would say 3.73 but if do more street driving then go with 4.10. Most say that for an auto 4.10s are the way to go but know that you car will be reving at higher rpms. I have a manual and will probably go with the 3.73s bc I think they are a medium between stock and the 4.10

does a change in gears require a tune?

Yes you will need a tune if you change gears or your speedometer will be off

i have an auto/3.73's and i'm having a lot of fun with it. i don't regret not going 4.10 as some members have in the past. its all preference and practicality. and you dont need any "performance tune" after a gear install but you do need to electronically adjust the new gear ratio which a tuner/programmer will do so that your speedo is accurate.

Gears require a tune. It would be nice to do the CAI/Tune and the Gears with LSD. The one you pointed out is good. 3.73s sound perfect to me, it's what I'd like to get. 4.10s are awesome if you don't mind paying a bit more for gas.

actual tuning of the engine isnt needed.You will need a programmer or ford to change the gear setting of the CPU if you have an Auto. If you have a manualnothing is required but your speedo will be off.

+1.....kinda like what i said earlier. i have an auto and all i had to adjust was the ratio for the speedo to be correct.
