Greetings

I am replacing the ball joints on my '84 F-250 work truck, but for some reason the ID sticker inside the door is missing, and the serial number has been re-issued.

The folks at AutoBone need the GAWR for the front axle with regards to ordering the upper ball joints. I suspect I have a Dana-44HD , as the truck is not an extended cab. However, I cannot be sure it is not a Dana 50. It is a TTB, of course.

The legible info on the front axle tag reads thusly:

4.09 E3TA AGO
6 199-6

IIRC there are two applications: the 4600lb GAWR ball joint, and the 3800lb and lower GAWR ball joint. I am guessing the 4600lb axle is the Dana 60, and the 3800lb- encompasses the Dana 44HD and 50, am I correct? If so, then problem solved, as I know I do not have a Dana 60 in this vehicle --although I do have a 60 in the Klingon Warship, but that is a different rig ;p

Welcome to the site.

You need the 80-86 truck forum so I'll ask to have this thread moved for you.

Meanwhile I'll look it up

The numbers for 70's are different that the 80's

EDIT:

That stamping is actually
E3TA- AGC

it is a Dana 44 ...4.09 ...3850 lb axle

Your parts list is known as... 3AN

Upper BJ-E0TZ- 3049 A
Lower BJ - D3TZ-3030-A
