    According to my book D means front diff, R means rear. C = Single reduction with controlled traction. 45 = 45000 lbs axle ratings. 1 = single reduction. P = optional lube pump. Hope that helps

    They are 45,000 lbs. Never seen the 45s in anything other than Chevy/ GMC Kodiaks. They had a heavy tandem with 16 front and 45 rears. Petes (or any other manufacturer) usually use 46,000 lbs rears for heavy specs. Sometimes 44s or 52s but usually 46s. guess I learned somthing today.

    They would be good for a straight truck they dont have a very high gcvw rating.

    Ya Ithink the 44s are the same way. Gvw is only about 74000lbs I think. 46s are the common offroad/heavyhaul/high torque rears.

    Were you talking to the guys at Pete in Wausau? The only guy there worth his salt is Dick that works second shift... every time I order parts from the day crew they screw things up.
