I'm sure that this is probably already on here somewhere, but I thought that I would post it anyway. I know a lot of us want to know what the gearing on our trucks are, so instead of climbing underneath and trying to make out what's marked on a rusty old tag attached to the diff cover, or jacking up the back and counting driveshaft revolutions, I thought that I would make it a little easier. You can figure it out just by looking on the driver's side door sticker. At the bottom of the sticker is a spot marked "axle", and underneath that a couple of letters, or numbers, or a combination of the two... a letter and a number(s).
Here's what they stand for.
