Hey everyone, thanks for having me on the forum. Lots of really good info here...except a specific trans and axle code! Looking for a decode on this truck
Thanks everyone
SL = Spicer model CM5852A five speed transmission. (not indicated if direct or OD)
P4M
P4 = P4 isn't shown for model year 1985, but it is shown as:
'80/'83 = Dana (Spicer) model M185T two speed, 18,500 lbs capacity, 7.17/9.77 ratios
'84 = Dana (Spicer) model M190T two speed, 19,000 lbs capacity, 7.17/9.77 ratios.
The axle may have identifying plates or stamped numbers on the carrier housing and the main axle housing.
M = Ford 7,000 lb capacity front axle with power steering.
Hope that helps.
I do an edit with a full decode if you want, but it will be tomorrow......
