The B9 is the rear axle code, and is a 3.55 single speed locking - according to the axle page on my site. The 3 is front axle code, however a "3" doesn't show on that page, which is taken from the master parts catalog. But, if the "B" applies to both then it is a B3 and that's a 3.54 locker.
Edit: I should have said you might want to look at that page on my site as it has more info about the axles.

Thanks Gary! My only question is I have a TTB not a D60 hmmm
I don't know what to tell you. I've not seen one done quite like yours where w/o "B" the 3 doesn't match up with anything. So, pairing it w/the "B" seems reasonable, but Ford didn't say to do that. Maybe you can match the case up with some pics, like in the stickies, and then tell us what it is. Here's where the stickies send you: Axle Identification Chart
No sign of a 3 in my books either. If it was a 2 it would indicate a front limited slip.
As for identifying the front axle, what is the front gawr? Under 4000 will be a 44, A 50 will be over.

I know its a Dana 44 brother, thank you. I was wondering about the gear ratios cause I'm wanting to run 36s eventually. So I'll probably do a SAS and change the rear also with Superduty axles so I can have 4 wheel discs.

Look at this page (Scroll down to FRONT AXLE CODES) while you're at it. Hey! There's the 3!
Section 30, you'll need the number from the front axle ID tag (if it's still there-See lower pic).
According to what I understand of what Bill said, the "3" of the "Axle Code" from the certification label has nothing to with the front or rear axle ratio. It means "power steering delete", and a "2" means "Front Axle Limited Slip".
And if I understand, in spite of what the catalog says below, you cannot get the front axle ratio nor capacity from the label. Instead, you have to have the tag off of the axle itself.

That sounds about right; the front is going to have the same ratio as the rear (obviously) so why list it twice? Yes, that tag is necessary for just about everything concerning the front axle IIRC....
I gave you the info for that front axle code chart several years ago, but...you forgot.
Of course I forgot!!! Guy I work with gives me **** for this, too - says if it has been more than 15 seconds since he taught me something, I will have forgotten it.
The normal brain can store & retain only so much detail, unlike the superbrains that can remember and recall every intricate detail of every document ever read or every word ever heard.
What we've gone through here, and other times as well, has convinced me that the next section of my web site needs to be an interactive decoder for the certification label. Each of the codes will be a link, like in the front clip section of fasteners, and the link will take you to the appropriate table.
I'll use this example label from the parts catalog:
