What Axle code is this???

Ok, so i've got an 8.8 rear lined up, but i cant figure out what's in the pumpkin. i looked at the tech library charts:

and the code is not on the chart. anyone know what's in there? it's coming out of a '99 explorer sport 2wd. i wanna get it cause i'm getting a sweet deal on it. thanks in advance.

as you can see in the pic, the code is 46

Can you make out the lettering that's on the diff. cover tag?

yeah, i crawled under and looked at while i was there to make sure it was an 8.8. i think all explorers come with 8.8's. i also figured out what the code was, it's an open 3.73.
kinda sucks cause i wanted to regear to 4.10's and i was hoping to find one with a limited slip and 4.10's. oh well, i'll probably still get it.

Code 46 is for an Open 3.73 Explorer axle.

edit: never mind. You got to it before me.

3.73 open.

Edit; you guys figured it out while I was typing.

so i'm getting it for $180 with the leaf springs too, is that a good deal?

lol. Anyone else??

I paid C$200 for a d-28 and 7.5 with 4.10 l/s gears. I had to rebuild the 7.5. I thought that was a fairly good deal.

yeah i think it was too, esp. since 4.10 gears for both would be over $200, not including install kits.

exploder springs would be ~$50 at the JY, so i'd like to think i'm getting it for $130.

i have 3.73's in my b2 tho, so at least i can throw it under there and regear in the future when i get bigger tires. plus, it has disc brakes
