I thought I could tell my rear gear ratios off the tag on my trucks rear end. I read them as S837B L55 88 2B24.I don't have a clue as to what they mean.Could someone please decode this for me. thanks sav

 

I think the L55 means it is a Limited Slip 3.55. What is the axle code is the drivers door jam?

 

The door stiker has H9 as the code. I don't know if it's right,I do know the motor/tran have been changed to a first gen.Lightning.I wouldlike to find the numbers on the motor. Any diretions on finding them would be appreciated. Thanks Scott

 

heres ur decoded axle tag (as according to my chiltons)
8.8" rear
3.55 gears
limited slip
2wd

 

Yes, that "L55" is suppose to be 3L55, you have 3.55 gears and a Limited slip, great setup if that is still what's in there, probably is. If you think the gears have been changed, I can tell you how to do that, but I won't type it if i don't have to.

i have a 3.55 limited slip in the rear. is there a way to tell if i have a limited slip (posi) in the front? my dad has it, but he ordered it in his 95

 

There is a sticker on the passanger side of the axle. That will tell you. Or, you can lift the tires off the ground, lock the hubs, and turn 1 tire by hand. If the other tire spins in the same direction, it's LS, if it turns in the opposite direction, it's open. I highly doubt it's an LS front, those are VERY rare.
