Ford cars and trucks from 1968 on have an axle code on the Certification Plate that can be used to determine if the vehicle is factory equipped with a limited slip differential. The Certification Plate can be located on the lock face of the left door edge. The plate layouts vary depending on the year, but in every case the axle code section is clearly marked as either "axle" or "ax". Ford axles codes contain one or two character. Any code beginning with a letter (an alpha code) indicates the vehicle is equipped with a limited slip differential EXCEPT as shown below. Some trucks with axle codes that are numbers only (numeric codes) are equipped with limited slip differentials. Please refer to the information below:
