The axle code "l6" for a Ford F-150 is for a 3.73e rear axle ratio. The rear axle is responsible for delivering power to the driving wheels. It comes in two halves, known as half shafts, which are connected by the differential. In most cases, rear axles are live, meaning they rotate with the vehicle's wheels.Axles are rods or shafts that connect to the drive wheels. The main purpose of axles is to transfer power from the transmission to the wheels. As the axle turns, the wheels go around, and without a functioning axle, wheels do not move. Axles also serve to bear the weight of the vehicle and its passengers and cargo.
