What is the gear ratio for an 1989 Ford F-250?
There are four ways to find a ratio.
1 A dealer can normally tell from the vin number.
2 There are normally tags or labels on the axle that have part number, gear ratio, and fluid requirement
info.

Your 4 wheel drive does not work and the light does not go on why is this?
Most 4WD vehicles use automatically locking hubs. By engaging 4WD, a vacuum is formed in the front wheel hubs causing them to lock up into the front differential/transaxle so they can receive power through the transmission. If the seals are leaking, then the vacuum will not form and 4WD will not work.
As for the light not working, I suspect that different models use the 4WD indicator light on the console to either identify when the front differential/transaxle is engaged or when the front wheels are actually engaged. Not having the light on when attempting to engage 4WD can either mean problems with the front locking hub mechanisms or the front differential.

What is the use of a kink in a thermometer?
You're referring to alcohol or mercury thermometers used to take person's temperature?
That constriction slows the flow of the alcohol back into the bulb after the thermometer is removed from your mouth (or elsewhere) so the temperature can be read more accurately. Otherwise the indicated temp would begin to decrease as soon as the bulb is moved to a cooler environment.
That why you see the nurse shaking the thermometer down before use, to get all the alcohol back into the bulb so it can re-expand properly before the next use.

What is sympthoms of a bad cv axle?
At first, just a leak in the boot indicates that problems are headed your way. If ANY grit gets inside, like when it's wet, that starts the CV joint to wear. As the problem progresses you'll notice clicking and popping sounds when you're moving, especially as you turn the wheel. It will definitely get worse when you turn the wheel, and you may not even notice it when going straight. Once it starts making noise, you don't have a lot of time before it either locks up or the vehicle will act like it's in neutral.
