The door tag says I have axle 97. I need a new rear and I believe it is a 4.10 open rear, 8.8 with 10" BRAKES. It is on a 2000 3.0 ranger with the 4x4 offroad package. Is there a link to decode the vin od door tag. I tried a search but didn't find anything but then I suck at searchengines.

wow what a wealth of info, now back to Denaples to pull a rear.
