[oletrucks] Identifying Rear Ends

["David Raphael" <draphael@teleport.com>]

    Some of you smart guys may be able to help me identify what kind of rear
end and gear ratios I've got in the my AD truck.  On the differential cover,
the following is written with yellow chalk or crayon:  "69 - 373".  The PO
had changed the drive train, so I'm assuming he also changed the rear end.
Can anyone translate what those numbers stand for and what they might mean
in terms of performance?
