I've been wondering if my 97 F350's t-case has the mechanical speedo provision. I was under it today but forgot to look... Figures...

I want to swap it into my 86 and want to use stock speedo. I know in 92 they switched to the ABS tone ring and on 2wd transmissions they deleted the provision but I wonder if they just plugged it on the t-case. It's a BW 1356 I believe.

 

I am pretty sure it does not.

 

Aren't 96 and 97 F350s supplied with BW4407 cases?

 

Guess I'll have to look at it on Saturday.

 

Yes, at least in '97, for the most part. According to my '97 Ford Service Manual, the 44-07 went into F-250 HD, F-Super Duty and F-350 except the 155" wheelbase SuperCab and the 137" wheelbase Chassis Cab with E4OD. Those got the 13-56.

Of course we are talking about Ford, so my best guess is that those trucks always got those transfer cases except in the special situations where they didn't. But my '97 F-250 does have the 44-07.
