    I have no idea what the stickers mean.
    We could probably tell you more about the axle if you tell us what engine you have and if you have the factory E-Locker.

    I have a Ted sport package and has 33 size tires. I was told it had a 5.29 gearing but not sure.

    No idea. Mine rubbed right off, just the big C4 was left when I bought it. Then I painted over it when I rust treated the axel.

    Can't say definitively but more than likely it is a coded string intended to denote to the OEM date of manufacturer, batch group of manufacturer, origin of that particular metal and possibly importation or tax information.

    The 4.0 (except XRunner) came with a 3.73 gear from the factory.
    Did you buy the truck used?

    Yes, I did buy it used and that’s why I was curious about the sticker. I know the codes for the sticker on the door jamb but wasn’t sure if it was replaced.
    I had 5.29 on my 88 Toyota pickup with lockers and wanted to put lockers on this one because of the terrain I hunt in. I thought maybe I could go the easy way by interpreting the sticker but guess I have to open it up to see for sure. Limited slip works fine in dry mountain terrain but don’t do well in muddy mountain terrain. So gotta put the lockers and need to check the spline count also.
    Thanks!

    You can turn the rear tire and count how many times the driveshaft turns. No need to open it up.

    this, if it has 5.29s they will be aftermarket. any factory door sticker or axle sticker will not apply

    It means you're not getting your truck dirt enough.
    An 8 year old sticker on a suspension part that you can still read? :anonymous:

    Hahh! No just bought this truck from some city driver. My old truck drowned when launching my boat but it still runs!
    Here we hunt or fish nearly every week to feed the people in church. So my trucks get beat up pretty bad.
    Just put on Raptor lining on my whole truck cause it ggoes through some heavy stuff!
