The question that seems to keep coming up week after week is

" What is the difference between a F250 and a F350"

Here it is:

There are 3 differences between the SRW 250/350...
1) F-250 vs F-350 badges
2) 2" rear spacer block in 250 vs 4" in the 350
3) *most important* GVWR for F350 SRW is 9900 in most states and the F250 8800 in most states.

From 99 to mid 2001 the srw trucks came with a Dana 50, Ford started using the Dana 60's on all F250/350's from mid 01 to present ,the front axle is identical on both trucks, including springs.


Springs in the Source Book are EXACTLY the same:
Front Leaf 250/350

3600lb 1.12"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 350(deflection)
4000lb 1.18"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 370(deflection)
4400lb 1.18"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 390(deflection)
4800lb 1.18"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 410(deflection)
5200lb 1.18"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 430(deflection)
6000lb 1.25"(thickness) 55.63"(length) 3.00"(width) 470(deflection)

Rear Leaf 250/350

6830lb 6(leaves) 3.86(thickness @ pad) 58.1"(lenght) 3.00"(width) 320/670/1209(deflection lbs/sq") 3603(rating@pad lbs/spring)

Rear leaf DRW
8250lb 6(leaves) 3.95(thickness @ pad) 58.1"(lenght) 3.00"(width) 350/730/1270(deflection lbs/sq") 4187(rating@pad lbs/spring)

 

And if that is not enough, here is a email, submitted by John aka johnsdiesel, that he received directly from FORD

Just though I'd put this up. I was trying to figure my effective gear ratio after changing tires. Did some stumbling around and found a formula for it. I know it was driving me nuts figuring it out, so here it is for anybody else trying to figure it ou.

(Original Tire Dia / New Tire Dia) x Current Gear Ratio = Effective Gear Ratio

Just change the gear ratio number to figure out what gears you need to install to get the effective ratio you want.

In the 2005 specification page, you can see specific ENGINE specs also which are a great resource for both 2 and 3-valve gas engines and the 6.0 diesel.

Thanks Bill.

 

Summer is coming, and if your A/C is not working, it could be a very easy fix.

Thankfully, our very own Springer Pop has outlined a very easy fix for a common A/C problem, and has given me permission to use his methods here in this video.

If your A/C is not turning on, or seems to be turning off randomly, then it is likely an air gap issue. Easy to fix, in less than 5 minutes.
