Just got a new (to me) '94 F150, stt. 6, 4wd, auto. Please help me decipher the door code as follows.

MB___ 117, TYPE-6VW___F141, BODY ___CV4, TRANS___E, AXLE___18, TAPE___L, SPRINGS__K-L

 

Regular cab, short bed (117in wheelbase), F141 indicates F150, Trans 'e' is the e4od, axle 18 is the ford 8.8 with 3.55 gears, tape is the pinstriping, and springs indicate 4x4 and light duty.

 

Also open diff as opposed to a limited slip.

 

Thanks a lot guys. At least I don't have 308 gears but I still probably want to change out to limited slip since I go offroad, right?

 

They do help quite a bit.

 

CORRECTION: 18 IS 3.08 gears, NOT 3.55 gears. Code 19 is 3.55.

 

That's right. Actually having run several trucks with the 3.08 gears they are a good mileage gear and tough to boot. I HATE the 2.73 rear gear in my current truck though.. It's only saving grace is the 300I6 that has enough torque to take off well.

 

What truck do I want to look for to rob the 308 limited slip off of?

 

It'll have a two-digit axle code that starts with a letter and ends in 8. I think H8 but I'm not positive.
