★ Top Answer
The axle code for your Ford F-150 indicates the type of axle installed in your truck, which can be valuable information for repairs or peace of mind. If your code is H9, you have a Ford 8.8-inch limited slip differential with a 3800-pound capacity and a gear ratio of 3.55. This specific axle code was only used in 1983-1986 Ford F-150 models and the Ford Expedition. Compared to other F-150 models, this axle has a lower capacity, with some able to handle up to 11,000 pounds and others as low as 2800 pounds. While your axle isn't at the bottom of the range, be cautious when carrying heavier loads as it may be prone to buckling or failing.

I have a 2001 Ford Crew Cab with an H9 axle code, indicating an 8.8 rear axle. However, my truck actually has a 9.75 axle with the tag S941-A.

I've got a 2001 F-150 pickup truck, has 4-wheel drive and an H9 Axle. The sticker on the differential indicates it's a V828B with 55-88 2C04, which means it's got an 8.8-inch size and a 3.55 gear ratio. It's been my ride for two decades, clocking in at 240,000 miles. Unfortunately, a leaky seal caused damage due to low oil levels before I caught it. Now on the hunt for a replacement. Just giving you the heads up.
