I completely forgot about all you EX owners. I don't know if you guys have caught wind of this but read through the posts.

Great info! Thanks for the link. That cover is a beauty!

 

Yep, ill be ordering one of these monday probably. There will probably be a nice national backorder once the word gets out some more lol.

Heres a stupid Q i still cant figure out. Is there 2 different axles, one a 10.25 and one a 10.5? Which trucks got what? Whats under my excursion? I wanna say 10.25, but i keep hearing about these 10.5s whats the deal?

 

Look at the tag. If it has a 10 25, it's a 10.25. If it has a 10 50, then it's a 10.5.

There has been confusion for some time about who has what.

I wouldn't think Ford changed the rear axle for any model year EX's.

 

Thank you, HeavyAssault!!!!!


Big time!!!!

 

Yes, I've seen that PDF. However, I've seen "claims" that guys have swapped out their gears only to find 10.25 stamped on the ring gear. This for both the SD & the Excursion. And at the same time have seen other have theirs say 10.50.

We all know it is spec'd as a 10.5 Sterling full-floating axle but seeing these weird things creates confusion.

In the End, it doesn't really matter. Knowing that Toyota's half-ton has a 10.5 ring gear makes realize that my axle may not be all that special. And as long as it works I don't really care what size it is.

 

The cover should fit either the 10.25" or 10.5" rear axle housing..........

Just tried to order one of these and they are all sold out. The guy at the dealership said that somemore are being made at the factory, but there are none in stock anywhere.

My parts guy just ordered one for me. He is the BEST! Been buying part from him for 25 years. He had to move heavan and earth and it cost me 25% more (like $10 more) but it will be in tomorrow.

 

Must be all that good island living. Time goes by different for them...

 

got one of mine installed this evening. Got my F250 done the Excursion is next. Look at "my site" in my sig for pics.

 

Ok, Ok. Where do I get one?

your local Ford dealer or an online Ford parts supplier.

 

Is the part # 8C32-4033-A as I saw on Brians MY Site in his sig or is it 8C34-4033-A as I saw in a post from tjbeggs. Also what would be the difference?
