I looked and couldn't find it but I know there is a page somewhere that I can identify the axle codes on the VIN plate.

I am looking at buying an '04 E350 Clubwagon which has an axle code of 24. Anybody know where I can find the code reference?

Thanks.

FYI: My '05 had a 4.6L with 4.10 gears and got 18 mpg if kept under 70 (even with 188K miles). My '08 has 5.4L with 3.73's and I can't get more than 15.5. It pulls no better than the '05 either!

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I need. I was wanting to be sure this van had the 3.73 gear. It does. I will probably pass on this one as it has more miles than I would really prefer.
