Axle Identification?
Can anyone help me identify the Axle that's in my newly purchased Excursion?
The VIN tag inthe door jamb was no help:
UTC is not a valid axle code.
Also note that the Paint Code of SE OR is not a normal paint code.
I checked the tags on the differential itself:
I'm assuming it's a 3.73 because of the 73... But it's missing the first digit and the identifier that says if it's a Limited Slip or not.
Okay... 75W140 Synthetic. Do I need Limited Slip additive or not?

Use this vin decoder. If it works you will learn a lot about your truck.

Get an OASIS report from your friendly local FORD stealership. Open recalls are disclosed (if any), I only had to pull into the service lane and they printed it right there, three minutes no charge.
Congrats on your new acquisition.

I think the D on the first tag means it is an open axle. Do you plan on upgrading to the newer aluminum Super Duty cover? Tousley and Horizon ford have them for around $50. Just pick up the hardware at a local hardware store since you will need longer bolts and the ones from Ford are super expensive.
