Axle Ratio & Identification

NOTE: If rear axle is a Traction-Lok version, a "L" will be displayed with the ratio. For example, a Traction-Lok axle ratio would be displayed as 3L45.

A metal tag stamped with axle model, date of manufacture, ratio, ring gear diameter and assembly plant is attached to rear cover. Use information on tag to order replacement parts. See Fig 1 .
