Rear axle tag decode

The tag reads.

WDM-AG1 4HA

3.00 9 344B

I know its a 9" 3.00 gears, but from reading a thread from earlier this week a went out and jacked up the rear and spun the driver side tire. The tire I spun went in the opposite direction of the other tire. So is this an open-differential?


Can someone decode this for me, thank's.

yep it is a open diff. If it was a factory limited slip it would read "3L00" as your ratio.
