Read my diff dog tag
 
I tried a search. Can anyone tell me what gear ratio I have?

[IMG]http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/y...diffdogtag.jpg[/IMG]

Its an 04 edge 3.0.

shadow905 09-11-2010 10:01 PM

youre missing the first number which is probably a 4. it should be like this...

4 10 88 3j05

first set is the gear ratio, second is axle id

nicky919 09-11-2010 10:22 PM

Thanks. So from what you can see it looks like a 4.10?

shadow905 09-11-2010 10:25 PM

looks like it to me. i could be wrong though so dont hold me to it

steveo1271 09-11-2010 10:37 PM

looks like 4.10's to me you can also go by your door jam sticker and look it up on ranger station

nicky919 09-11-2010 10:41 PM

I looked for a door jam sticker too. It is not there. I didn't take it off. Under the fuel door there is a tire size/pressure sticker. thats it.

steveo1271 09-11-2010 10:44 PM

oh well my post didnt help any lol

nicky919 09-11-2010 10:47 PM

Your post helped. 2 out of 2 say 4.10.

04blackedge 09-11-2010 10:51 PM

I'll agree with 4.10 I don't know what else it could be

MothMan999 09-11-2010 11:31 PM

Im going to have to go with 4.88

nicky919 09-11-2010 11:49 PM

4.88? Factory? 3 out of 4 say 4.10.

Toms994x4 09-12-2010 12:35 AM

Maybe it's the ultra rare 4.56 ratio from the factory?

Ford Ranger Axles - The Ranger Station


definetely an 8.8 rear


its hard to say if says 410 or 4L10

MothMan999 09-12-2010 10:18 AM

How old is your gear oil? Just change the fluid and while you have the cover off count the teeth on the ring gear and divide that buy the number of teeth on the pinion gear. 4Lo.com :: Ring and Pinion Ratio Calculator

nicky919 09-12-2010 04:59 PM

L/S. Is that Limited Slip? Better than Open but not as good as a Locker? Am I close? This is new to me. :biggthump

robert99ranger 09-12-2010 07:44 PM

Can you see if anything is before the 1? Cant tell from the pic if there is a L there or not.

I looked again and there is nothing there. Like there was nothing stamped. Its not worn off.

robert99ranger 09-12-2010 07:48 PM

Well the I would think its not limited slip then. Its probably an open diff.

04blackedge 09-12-2010 08:07 PM

Theres no way to tell if its a limited slip or not, you can see anything before the 10. I'd put my money on it being open though.
