I've actually seen a couple diesels with the 44TTB.... BUT I cannot say they came that way....
there are Coil Spring kits to replace the leaf springs too... these trucks are OLD and it's anyone's guess what folks do
According to Blue Oval the 44 was used on trucks up to 8500 all diesels I have seen are above that so TJC is probably 100% correct.

You learn something new everyday. Tomorrow I have to go out and see if mine is a 44 HD or 50. It's 8 bolt, but that doesn't tell me anything more. Thanks for the link Lonewolf. Rep added!

The 44hd is basically identical to the 50, other than smaller hubs/bearings and a skimpier passenger side axle shaft.
The 50 axle shaft is a direct swap I believe, as are the whole axle assemblies.
The coils would sure make the ride smoother, but I like leaf sprung axles for work trucks, and it actually rides pretty smooth compared to the Dana 60 axle which rides like a tank..
i ain't rite

I will do that. I can get those through work. Fun part is I need to replace the locker on the drivers side. The engagement *** is pretty loose and a little sunk and it does not audibly click like the passengers side. I have really never delved into how lockers work so I don't know the first thing about fixing them

You have the Dana 50, also on the tac, you can try removing it and cleaning it and making sure where the wires leave the sensor they're not frayed and touching. If they are you can put some silicone or hot glue around them to insulate them from eachother.
It's real common for the tac sensors to read like that when they get old and tired.

the Tach issue was all discussed in the first few Posts in this Thread..... go back and Re-Read 
What I'm trying to tell you is that with E4OD transmission Tach signal is IMPORTANT... IF it is degraded then it WILL lead to Early Transmission Failure.
