Question yet another dreaded axle question

i just bought a 9inch rear to put under my truck and i need some help decoding the tag

it came out of an 80-?? model F150 4X4

tag reads as follows: WFE ABC 1K13
3LOO 9 S323B

someone plese tell me this is a 3.23 geared rear and not a 3.00

Thanks in advance, Keith

yet another dreaded axle question

thats what i was afraid of....who in their right mind would put a 3.00 gear in a 4 wheel drive truck???LOL

oh well...guess now ill be looking for a 3.25 R&P for it

i have a 3.23 geared dana44 in the front so im assuming the 3.00 wont work in 4wd with that

when it rains it pours i guess

You got it Keith, the 3.00 is not the gear you want to match the front. Otherwise you'll be swapping xfer cases next.
