Question Ford 9 Ratio Question

I have a Ford 9, can anyone tell me what the gear ratio is, and what kind of vehicle it might have come from. This is what the tag says: WDM DA 1K05
3 . 00 9 S316B

Looks like 3.00 : 1 ratio if the tag matches the gear set. Numberdummy can decode the rest...might take a while for him to see your post.

Do you have this as a loose part, or installed in a housing, or installed in a vehicle?

The axle is not installed on anything. I took the tag off.

Well, count the teeth and look in where the spiders are to confirm 3.00 and non-locker. (if you can see the spider gears and not a round drum in there, you have an open diff. The tag would have an "L" in there for limited slip)

As for the other stuff, see previous.
