Mike, the codes that are listed will be posted on the door sticker in this case, not on the axle..

 

[Mike Endrizzi]

So the axle code 616e means nothing?



I would check the door code if there was a truck to go with this axle

 

[Kevin Palmer]

It does mean something, we just don't readily have the details.



I have the info in my salvage books, but I never get out to the shop anymore.



If you have a yard near you, offer them a few bucks for the info.

Most axles have 2 tags on them.

Most axles have 2 tags on them.

I seem to recall reading some time ago that the Limited Slip differential were the only ones that had two tags. the non LS only had one. I don't know for sure. Only that mine had two tags and it is a LS Diff.
