What car/truck? Looks like a 4.15 to me but totally unfamiliar with that design, sure no a common one to me.

The tags I have seen have the ratio beside the nut, not out in the middle. Also, I don't see any numbers ending in four. I do see a number beginning with four.

Are you sure that tag doesn't say 75-140? As in the gear oil spec?

I seem to recall having seen two tags on some axles... Is there another tag on it maybe?

Click to expand...
Lots of axles have two tags. One IDs the axle, gives the gear ratio, and has what I believe to be a serial number. The other generally specifies the type of lubricant to be used.

Look on your door there is an axle code. Like mine is r6 which is the 8.8 with 3.73 limited slip. As a f6 is the 7.5 with 3.73 limited slip.
