Post up the tag, and we can decipher them for you. That would be the easiest, since Im not aware of a chart made up.

 

The second line tells you what gear ratio you have and whether or not it is a limited slip or not. If you have a 3.55:1 ratio with limited slip Diffs it will be writen 3L55

 

What Grogtronics said. L between the gear #s mean Limited slip and nothing means open. Those are basically the only important #s on the tag. The others are build date, build plant, etc... Depending on the year it's either a 8.8 or a 9" rear end, but you don't need a tag to tell you the difference.

 

What about the tag it looks like 3L08 8 ??what would that be

 

3.08:1 gear ratio, limited slip differential, and it should have 8.8 for ring gear dia.

 

Yep, it's a 3.08 gear set with track lock limited slip.

 

I was thinking if u had limited slip and raised the rear of the truck up and were to spin one tire they would the same direction. Mine spin not the same direction. 3L08 8

 

Don't trust that, you must put enough torque to the one tire your spinning to make the clutches lock the 2 together in a %60-40 % lock or so.

 

the front has this:
3.54 V(upside triangle) EDE8TA SC
V(upsidedown triangle) 610310 - 2
the back has:
S817P
3L55 8.8 9D14

So the front is 3.54 and the rear is limited slip 3.55 8.8in
what size is the front axle

 

The front is a D44 30 spline TTB suspension.

 

Thanks for your help
