decode my axle tag? August 13, 2006, 06:58:04 PM I got this tag off the rear of an 87 cougar xr7. The yellow marker kinda reads 88 and something else after it. The tag says: top 445Cthe bottom says 3SL08A887K29 I understand the 3.08 part, but why SL, and not just L for locking? It also has the bigger smooth drums. Any ideas? Quote Selected

decode my axle tag? Reply #2 – August 14, 2006, 01:13:16 AM All the traction -lock units use SL to denote it's presence.The 88 =8.8" and the 7K29 is the date which is Oct 29 '87.. Someone has swapped it or you have a '88 as the '88s went into production late July, early August of '87... Als its been said all the '87s got the 7.5 rear... Quote Selected
