this will help you, take note of axle code to make sure its 4:10

These are the codes you will need when out shopping for your 8.8

Axle tag codes:

3L73 = 3.73 LS

4 10 = 4.10 open

4L10 = 4.10 LS

and so on

Door codes:

43 Open 3200 3.08

41 Open 3200 3.27

42 Open 4.10

D4 Limited Slip 3200 3.73
