Axle-code locking differential convention

numbers matching · documented

Reference Details

Common issue
Assuming a 3.89 Traction-Lok or conventional axle from the R-code engine claim instead of checking the car-specific axle code and drivetrain records.
Confidence
documented
Correct value
Factory identification guidance separates axle coding by convention: numbers designate conventional axles and letters designate locking differentials.
Where to check
Vehicle-data plate rear-axle code; corroborate with axle tag and build records for the individual car
