Hi guys,
I have a 8.8 Rear end that may have come out of a Ford Truck. I want to decode it. Anyone know a good resource for this? Here is what I can read off the tag (may have a few numbers wrong - hard to see):
2-73883C16
S215C

Thanks in advance.

axle tag

It's a 2.73 ratio, (if the dash [-] is an "L", it's a trac-lok) otherwise an open diff., 8.8 inch, built March 16th 2003
