Default Need help with ID of rear axle gearing

Okay, i searched everywhere online and on my truck and can't seem to find an ID on what gearing i have in my rear axle. I looked in the glove box where there is suppost to be a sticker but, it must have been removed cause its not there...

On the axle itself there is 2 metal tags on one of the cover bolts... one says 2407 and the other say 3.9.... my question is could the 3.9 be for 3.92 or is it for something else?

You can also look in your glove box, there's a sticker that comes from factory with all the specs like paint color code and rear axle gearing.

That means you have 3.92 gearing.


If there is only 10 cover bolts then it is a Chysler Corporate 8.25 axel, if there is 12 bolts then it is a Chysler Corporate 9.25 axel.
