Axle Code

Hi guys.....looking for some help. I just purchased a 2003 F250 with the 5.4. I'm trying to figure out the axle code...it's CT. Does this make sense?

I've seen all the various codes for the F250 and this is not one of them?

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick replies guys!

Had my 9 year old daughter look at the sticker......it's C1, 3.73 (I'm in denial about getting glasses).

I just picked up the truck today from the dealer. It's my first F250 and I love it. The truck looks brand new.

3.73 is the most common ratio for the 5.4L.

Hi could you please help me I am having a very tough time trying to find brake rotors for my 2000 F450. I know it starts with identifying my axel but that is the great mystery. The info off the tag doesn't seem to match whatever data base I come across and I'm kinda hanging. The rotor is huge 15"-16" and all books computers say it should be 13" or 14.5". Heres the kicker: I only have 8 lug axels and the rotors that are suggested say they should be 10 lug. My axel tag reads as follows: YC35 JA 606225-1 also there is some numbers 47844 AD W2 on the rearend cover. Please help I need to get my daily driver back on the road!
