Hey everybody, I'm kinda new and i wanted to thank everybody for bein so great welcoming me. Thanks. Alright, does anybody know how to decipher diff tags? Just trying to figure out your gear ratio is a mensa puzzle or something. I pulled one off my dana 60 rear and it reads as follows: 3 54 D6TA KGA
603716 20
Can anyone tell me what gear ratio ive got, or where i could find a key or something? Thanks.

all that info on that plate except the 3.54 part is considered Ford casting plant & bearing size info.

You will need those other numbers if you have to replace the bearings someday.
