I recently purchased a used 2003 F-150 with an axle code of 26. I called the local dealer and the service manager did not have a clue as to what I was talking about , if anyone is familliar with this axle ratio any info is appreciated.

 

code 26 is a 3.73 ratio open rear axle or non limeted slip.

 

How in the world did this guy end up being service manager? This isn't exactly something obscure . . .

 

Thanks for the info chuck and I guess that's what happens when knowledge comes in second to b.s. ing you into believing that the noise under hood is normal!!!

 

People today are to lazy to do their jobs, all the man has to do is open a book or look at a computer and all the info is at you're fingertips. NO rocket science involved !!!

 

I rarely find them knowledgeable or informative.
