VIN 7NA15381. Find a driveshaft.. 4602 basic, Microcat is unable to display results, says I should enter a VIN and try my luck again. wait, I had the VIN in, let's try something else. let's go to powertrain and look at pictures. nothing there either, hmmmm. oh, there is one for the front, and the only one that has a part number. except this is not a 4X4. well, lets keep scrolling. there it is 4R602, I left out the 'R'..... no again, does not apply to vehicle. WTF??
with the VIN out, 4602 comes up with a 7L3Z-4602-J, it is wrong, even though clicking on it brings up the picture of the one I need, with a carrier bearing. But now, the 4R602 that did not apply has number and it is the one I wanted, only I ordered the wrong (4602) one thanks to this hap- hazard system. thanks

hi donflm,
You are correct. It does not display any results. It appears the data came from Ford that way. I will submit a correction.
That being said, to find the correct part, I used the Idetification Number from the VCIS information - 6L344K145FC. By doing an Identification Number search in Microcat, it gave me part 6L3Z-4R602-D, which has an OSI to 8L3Z-4R602-E. Another way you could find the number is by searching for the Basic Number 4R602, but removing the checks from the Interpretation Boxes in the search screen. This would display all numbers available, which would eventually lead you to the same part number.
Thank you for pointing out the issue. I will make sure it gets addressed. As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call our Customer Support lines at (888) 929-5599.
