Title: Question
Post by: STEVIESYJ on February 29, 2008, 10:25:21 pm

ON an 88 YJ How is an easy way to tell what axle is under it to explain to someone in a different state??  They say it has a factory towing package and I don't know how to explain or ask a question to see what rear is under it?? Can anyone  help...thanks Steve

Below is a Spicer ID chart...
1- Date
2- Bill of Material
2A- Axle ID Tag
3- Model Number
4- Ratio Tag
5- Limited Lubrication Tag

Towing packages typically are set up with 4:10 ratio gearing
Here's a link: http://coloradok5.com/axleguide.shtml that can help you identify by the shape of the housing and bolt pattern.

 Do you keep those handy for just such an emergency?

You always have good advice, but charts to go with it ,too.  Man.

Rubber oil fill hole = 35 W/ c-clips

Threaded oil fill hole = 35 wothout c-clips

The only YJs I heard of not having a 35 were Canada gov. models

Also count the bolts and shape of the cover.
