1993 Axle code H9B
From the decoder an H9 is a 3.55 Limited slip. What's the B? Does that indicate the front is LS also? Never seen it before.
It's a 1993 F150 4x4 5.8L E4OD.

it is a bear on pavement with the hubs in. you deffently have to be awake. kind of likes to go or wonder on the road. does ok in snow. There is a lot of difference in my 93 and 94 and i contribuite it to the posi. even with hubs out they are completly different. Not necessarly bad but differnet. I will get my owners manual out tonight and see what it says about the code. I am kind of shure that on mine it is posi. whith that code.

Or you could take a look at the passenger side front axle--look at it from behind the passenger front wheel--there should be a sticker that has been placed on the rear of the passenger side axle housing--upside down. This sticker will tell you the axle ratio and if the differential is open/standard or limited slip.
You could also verify if the front axle is a limited slip by jacking up just one of the front wheels --and with the front hubs engaged--it should take at least 20 foot pounds of torque to turn the wheel--with the transfer case in two wheel drive.
Ford only installed factory front limited slip on trucks with manual hubs and with 3.55 rear/3.54 front axle ratios on the F150s.

in 96 if you had a 2 where your B is than you had a limited slip front axle, so maybe in 93 the B means limited slip front axle.
oops, i just saw that phoneman had already said this, sorry.

See the link I added. It's not where the truck was built, rather which District Sales Office the order was processed through. Most trucks I've looked at around here were built in the Norfolk Assembly Plant. I think that's what I remember seeing on the sticker.....
