Rear axle tag decode please.
I have the repair manual CD and all that info. I looked @ millions info to, but I can't figure this out. I'd like to know the gear ratio for a 79 2WD rear end. The tag info is as follows.
WDM-CJ 9DE
7 5 9 356A
I think the axle code on the other info tag says 13X (not sure).
I already know its a Ford rearend, not a Dana(no cover on back) As always all info appreciated. Thanks.

X is for Power steering and the special weight rating of the front axle.

My truck has 2.75's in it and it worked fine with the 400 pulling the heavy holiday trailer.
Driving solo I would get as much as 22 mph / imp gallon hwy.

it may be ok in flatlands but in the mountain country it won't cut it specially towing anything

Maybe I didnt get all the dirt and grime off to see the 2. I'll have to take another look. If youre keeping track of post you now have 4 more the me buzzman. Summers coming and I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions as I get to work on my D.D. and the dumptruck. Always got something to tinker with on these two. Let the race begin. LOL!! This rear ends off a 4x2 with a 302 so probably didnt need the power as much. I couldn't tell ya.
