They're there. They're just tiny and not very defined. Almost anyamount of mud, dirt, rust, or grime can make them dissapear. So make sure that you scrub good and look hard. J. J.

Well the question was Originally posted by Belly Dragger Where on an axle is the bill of material # stamped on Dana products. and the first two words on the pic are " All Spicer" So, umm, ya, the pic is for Spicer stuff only.. What in my response was it you though was confusing and in need of your clarification ? :rolleyes: patooyee 11-26-2001, 10:52 AM Look, no need to get pissy here. To be honest, I didn't even look at the pic, so didn't realize that it included the text to go along with it. It's a common pic out of the Dana Bill of Materials Catalogs and if the text wasn't included some people might think that all axles, like corp. 10 bolts and 14-bolts, have the same numbers in the same places. Sorry for trying to help. :flipoff2: J. J. InstaGator 01-11-2004, 07:47 PM I used the search button, but the picture is long gone. Can anyone describe which part of the casting to look at when searching for BOM? I don't want to have to clean every housing off completely when searching for an axle. Thanks.
