    axle code?

    I was using a vin decoder to try to find out what type of rear I have on my 87. It wasn't accurate because the 11 digit in my VIN is X instead of any the codes listed in the sticky thread. Also, I can't check the door sticker because it is no longer on the driver's side door.
    Current rides - 1991 Ford Thunderbird 3.8 v6 (gas saver/DD) - New Heads/Headgaskets with ARP studs, Air Silencer Delete, 70mm MAF, Plasti-dipped Matte Black with a Silver Metalflake Overlay, Muffler Delete, some LED's, 30.233 MPG for high MPG average!
    2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD (fun vehicle/backup DD) - 4.0/6spd - too many mods to list.

    Im pretty sure that the 11th digit in the VIN is for the assembly plant X = St. Thomas. If the door sticker is gone, crawl under the rear of the car and look for a tag attached to one of the diff cover bolts. it will prob be something like 3 08, 2 73, 3 27, or 3 55 That is your gear ratio, 3 08 is a 3.08 gear. if it is something like 3L55 then it is a 3.55 with a Trac-lok
