V836G = Plant Code

?73 = Axle ratio (first digit not readable in photo)
88 = Ring Gear Diameter (inches)
3 = Build Year
M = Build Month (I think the letter "i" is skipped, so "M" would be December)
04 = Build Day

So, this axle was built December 4th, 2003. What year is this truck? Parts for the assembly line are always built months prior to vehicle assembly.
