What axels in my F250?

Hi all,

Just bought an 03 F250 XL 6.0L diesel, 4wd, 6 speed manual. Going to pick it up on Tuesday. Just wondering what axels this truck would have? I assume it would be either Dana 50 or 60 front, and a Sterling of some variety in the rear. Probably 3.73 gears. Can anyone confirm? Would I have LSD in the rear?

The door sticker has an axel code. Search the forum for axel codes there is a list on here I just do not know where right now. It is a useful tool, I have used it more than once. Guess I should link to it. or at least save the page.

Google Ford axle codes for a variety of helpful links once you have the information, you probably don't have access to the door sticker until Tuesday though.

The gears and LSD are a toss up, there are many different configurations out there.

02-04 F250, F350 - all D60's

good stuff, I was told that all 99-2003 F250s had the dana 50. Either way, if its a D60 it should have '248' cast somewhere on the back of the diff.

Here is the casting on my D60. I have an 02 CCLB w/ 5.4. If it's a D50, I believe the number will be 229.

You can also check this web site with the vehicle VIN. It will tell you ALL of the options on the truck. Click vehicles at the top and then enter your VIN.
