It's possible. It depends on what packages were ordered with the truck when it was new. If it came with a snowplow package, a heavy duty front suspension package, or a slide in camper package, then it got the Dana 50. Otherwise, the default front end was the Dana 44 front end.

They're more common than you think they are.

I guess I assumed that since the diesels are more front end heavy the default would have been the heavier duty axle...I need to stop assuming. Thanks for clearing this up for me.
