Help with Sierra diff tag code
nick205 - 3/8/10 at 08:31 PM

Just picked up a D reg 2.3 D Sierra from a local Octogenarian who had it from new

Haven't got the diff of yet, but you can guess I'm hoping it's a 3.14

Got the code from the tag as follows...

83BG LC 338
4A 7C25

Does that mean it's a 3.38....?

Have a look in the diff codes post in the engine and transmission section of the forum

I started there, but unless I'm being a dipstick, the code on my diff tag bears no relation to the codes listed. I don't have the VIN plate off the car yet so can't check against that.

That's what I suspect...not 3.14 Gold, but 3.38 Silver

Shame I know, but still one of the rarer ratios Will be of the 7" variety and the code in the 'axle' box on the slam panel vin plate should be 'V' to tally up.

I'll check the VIN plate code to confirm.

As you say still a worhtwhile find.
