In the place where you have "Dif" would be a 3 letter code for Front axle:Rear Axle:Final Drive ratio so if Dif is to do with the fianl drive then A would be 1:4.44. However it would be normal for there to be a tag on the axle with the ratio and of course ratios were changed to suit so the only way is to count the revolutions yourself.
Again, this makes sense....
I'll try to make another hunt for the VIN number. I've sanded down the right slam panel, but nothing is there. Will do the same for the left panel. Thank you so much!
