how to interpret rear axle codes in door-jam?

Does anyone know how to interpret the codes on the sticker in the door jam (i'm not talking about the tag that is attached to the axle)? Like a "23" might mean 8.8-inch with 3.55 ratio, for example. Is there a big chart somewhere that summarizes them?

If anyone an help, please send me an email at vfchris(No Email Addresses In Posts!).

TIA, Chris

In the back of your owner's manual is the list of exactly what codes mean what.

18=3.08
19=3.55
H9B=3.55 Limited Slip

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 11-Apr-02 AT 01:36 PM (EST)]Try this link http://www.off-road.com/ford/bigbroncos/tech/ratio.html.
I think the codes are good through later years as well,my 90 has H9.The H designates limited slip.

Was the limited slip an extra feature anyone could get on their truck? Or were they desinated to certain types of trucks???
