27 or 29 spline? Help me out here.
What is the quickest way to tell if I have 27 or 29 spline axles in my 8.25. Its a 96 and I know that some of them are 27 and some 29 from the research I've done on the net. Can anyone give me a trick to figuring the spline count on my axles without pulling them?

Both 8.25s that I currently have had a sticker wrapped around the axle tube with the part numbers. Both of the stickers fell off as soon as I touched them so it is a good possibility that the info is no longer there.

It has been found that some late 96s had the 29 spline installed when the factory ran out of 27 splines. A couple of members on here have found that out when ordering a locker for a late 96 27 spline and it turned out they had a 29 spline.

manufacture date of 5-96. There are two tags bolted to the diff cover one reads 128S maybe 1285 the other reads 32.
What does all this mean?????

5-96 is in the last 2-3 months of production so it is 50/50 as to which axles you have. One of the tags bolted to the diff cover should be the gear ratio. It should say either "3.55" for automatic trans or "3.07" for manual trans. I have no idea what either of the numbers you have listed would mean.
