This is what my tag from my rear axle looks like. All I could decipher is that it's a 9 in WDM-U OJE
3 . 70 8 . 7 302A

Thanks fordman. Doesn't that mean it's better suited for pulling than open highway? I drive right at 100 miles per day round trip just to work and back. Would that be hard on that rearend? (Thanks for moving this to the right section. I realized my mistake after it was too late)

If you are interested in some info on your axle check out this link on the site:

Just do a search for wdm-u with your browser or scroll down and you will see the info.

the higher the numbers the more it is made for pulling

Right, that's good for pulling, not so hot for fuel milage.
If you never pull anything you might get away with 3.00, otherwise a 3.25 or 3:55 might be the way for you to go.
