Just curious what these decipher too.

Front axle: 3 54 vE9TA LA
v610335-3

(Everywhere there is a v is actually an upside down triangle NOT the letter v)

Rear axle: 5808D
5588 0G17

And on the door tag under Axle: is the number 19

Whats all this break down to?

This means that you have a 3.54:1 front axle. E9TA is part of a ford part number. The v610335-3 is a Dana bill of materials number (BOM) that you can decode on Dana's web site. I don't have the link handy, but you can search for it and find it quickly.

(Everywhere there is a v is actually an upside down triangle NOT the letter v)

Rear axle: 5808D
5588 0G17

You missed a number in the second line. It's mostly covered by the bolt that holds the tag on. It means you have a 3.55:1 ratio and an 8.8" ring gear. The 0G17 is a build date code that I never bothered to memorize the format of.

Because of the lack of an L in between the 3 and the 55, it means you have an open carrier, i.e. no limited slip.

And on the door tag under Axle: is the number 19

This means that you have a 3.55:1 ratio with an open carrier.

All I know is the "...E9..." part indicates a 89 model year axle

That means that was the last year the part was revised. It doesn't necessarily mean the part came from an 89 truck. Scott's truck is a 1990.

You can take apart a 91 truck and find parts on it with part numbers going back to 1987.
