rsb502 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Call your local Mack dealers parts dept with the model, year and Vin, they'll be able to tell you. If they can't help the Mack museum is the only other one I could think of to call. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38298-axle-ratings/#findComment-273053 Share on other sites More sharing options...
6368 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 or post a picture of your axles on here and someone will tell you what you have. Ratios are stamped in the carrier Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38298-axle-ratings/#findComment-273064 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcotter Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 In what area on the carrier do I look for ratio? And would weight for front and rear be stamped somewhere also?

j hancock Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 On the pass. side of the gear housing there is a sloping flat area. It slopes toward the front of the truck. On that square flat pad will be the ratio in the upper right corner. Will probably have to do some gentle scrapping or wire brush work if there is paint or grease.The axle housing info will be on the back side below where the gears bolt in about in the center. It will start with SW followed by some numbers. The SW number then can be checked to get the weight.For example SWD 68 is 50,000 camelback on bronze. SWW 76W is 38,000 walking beam on rubber. SWS571C is 44,000 camelback on bronze. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.
