mI goin to get 3.55 ls axles for my 93 f150 tomarrow im wondering does axle code h9 mean front is ls to ?

 

Idk if they even put open diff up front I have axle code 19 but there is no way my front diff is open

 

Usually it doesn't, a front LS diff was available as a special order only so it's a rare find.

 

I agree 100 percent.

For on-road vehicles in most situations, you don't want a limited slip on your steer axle (especially on low-traction surfaces while turning!).

 

Ok thanks guys I got ls rear and open front the front is really easy I was surprised how fast I got it out

 

Well I put the 3.55 gears in made absolute no difference no power still same rpm shift points it was just waste of money I guess the m5od makes all the power

 

Huh? What? Maybe fill us in on the whole story here.

 

I put 3.55 gears in place of my 3.08 gears it made no difference at all but I have an e4od I drove my buddies m5od 3.55 had alot more power

 

What year are the trucks in question? And do they both have the same engine and tire sizes?

 

Both have 4.9 and 31 inch tires mine is 93 his is 95

 

Well.. and automatic trans does consume a bit more power so all else being equal the manual will feel a bit stronger. On top of that the M5OD had 5 forward gears versus 4 with the E4OD and the only gear that matches between them is 4th in the manual and 3rd(drive) with the auto.

 

Is it normal to not have enough power to spin tires on dirt in 4 hi

 

In 4hi on a packed dirt road? Yes.. there's simply too much traction and not enough motor. On lose soil it should be able to break them lose but it won't spin them for very long. This is a 150hp motor after all.

 

Wow my brothers chevy 4.3 with 3.42 rear spins all 4 on asphault or any surface
