Help identify front 4x4 E350 axle
Hey guys, I am looking at this van. Converted 4x4 but I am not sure what front axle is has.
The van is a couple hundred miles from me so I had the seller take a pic.
Is this a D44 or D60?
Thanks!

Thanks Leo, the website seems to be down. Have you been able to get to it?
I spoke with the guys at Pathfinder and they say: All Pathfinder Dodge and GM vans as well as 90% of Fords have Dana 44's, they hold up just fine. I don't think you would need to worry about that.
I am sure that I will not be taking the van through the Rubicon so maybe it would be fine.
I did read that there were a number of Pathfinder coil conversions done on the E350 that used the D60.
It's funny, side by side you can tell right away, but not as easy from a photo.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
Meanwhile, I am getting ready to look at a 93 E350 4x4. Also a former ambulance. This one has the 7.3 IDI and a D60 front. It is still fully kitted out as a ambulance and I am not quite as fond of the later body vs the older one.
But the diesel, 4 speed auto and D60 front (not sure what the rear is). makes a difference. It does have the BW1356 transfer case (the 82 has the NP205) so that is not quite as tough, but again, I am not going nutz with the rig.

Dang, big reply and it all disappeared. Dang it.
Thanks for the info!
The Pathfinder guys tell me it is a D44 and that most all vans were converted using the D44. They say it is fine. Hard to argue with the 3500 GAWR for the D44.
Ok, now my post is back....
