? about rear end

[2000XPLORERSPORT]

i notice that sometimes my rear tire on the driver side spins. i got the pass side tire that always spins. but i noticed in the rain and snow if i press the gas both tires spin. but some times if i power brake it, only the passesnger side tire spins. my gears are 3.73. do i have limited slip diff? i wish it had posi!

Whats your axle code?



Axle Codes

L - Limited Slip Differential
C - Conventional Differential

Code ... Ratio
41 ...... 3.27C
42 ...... 4.10C
43 ...... 3.08C
45 ...... 3.55C
46 ...... 3.73C
----------------------
D1 ...... 3.27L
D2 ...... 4.10L
D4 ...... 3.73L
D5 ...... 3.55L

where do you look for the code?

i just looked on the driver door. i found where it says axle. then right under that the number 45 is there. and from the chart it shows 45 is 45 ...... 3.55C. is that what i got? if so, thats a Conventional Differential? why does my other wheel spin at times?

can any one explain what some of the other codes on the pic are? i figure the wb-102 is the wheel base lenth. how about where the r is and under the r is 9? then under 9 is utc. nect to axle says tr with a d under it. then spr and hl. and finally at the end is 9ltab with the letter a under. sorry for all the questions just always been curious what all this means. any input is greatly appreciated! im guessing from the code the tr with the letter d under it is my trans? that means from the chart i got the A5LDE / 5R44/55E trans? i thought i had the 4R70W.

Differences in traction under the wheels. If one tire has even just slightly less traction under it (different amount of weight on it, different road surface, dirt/sand on the road, etc.), that will be the side that spins first.

ok, i see. that makes sense. when the driver side spins, im not sure if the pass. side does to at the same time, sonce i can't see it. i know some times the truck in the rear gets side ways when peeling out.

 

[2000XPLORERSPORT]

which is better to have? the 3.73 or the 3.55? i know i got a sh*t load of torque off the line. is that why? the higher the gear id more for top end?

The ONLY way you have a 4R70w transmission is if you have the 5.0 (302) in front of it.

oh, nope. i wish. i got the 4.ol ohv. so which one you think i got-A5LDE / 5R44/55E

 

[my pos mounty]

5R55E I believe

 

[2000XPLORERSPORT]

5R55E I believe

yea thats what i was thinkong. does that pic i took above ^^^^^ say?

see that chart shows my explorer with the 4R70W 4sp Auto

And that you have the 45 axle code meaning that you have an open diff with 3.55 gears

Uhmmm, no. Each section is its own area. It lists specs for each different thing under thier own heading.

right. is that a good set up? open diff and that ratio?

oh i thought it read straight down, not across.

oh i thought it read straight down, not across. because my truck is the first row.
