Hi there everyone....
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what kinda axles my '95 f250 probably has... its got the 5.8L engine.... is it a Dana 60 in the rear?

 

No sir. The rear is a Sterling 10.25" ring gear, full floating.

The front is either a Dana 44 or a Dana 50. Both were offered on that truck.

 

Thanks... is there any way to check on the truck what the front axle is, i cant find any info like that in the manual?

 

I beleive the dana 44 has a 44 stamped on it.

It SHOULD have a 44 stamped on, although I'm not sure if all of them do... If so, it'll be written on the bottom of the third member like this:


But the surefire way to tell is the hub. See post #4:

a 44 will have lockouts about the size of a soda can(round) and the 50 is alot biger

 

thanks guys... mines got a Dana 50 apparently

 

Ejumukate me on something. Are there D44 & D60 TTB's and regulars. I know its prolly a real elementary question, but I didnt even think about TTB's before. I've owned Fords, Dodges and Chevy's. They always were solid axles.

D60 only comes in the monobeam variety.

On these trucks the D44 only comes in TTB, as well as the D50. But in the 70s, the D44s were monobeam axles and most can be swapped onto these trucks.

 

You can also swap an F350 D60 straight axle into an F250 D50 TTB truck. Don't the F150's have coils up front, or are they leaf sprung like the 250/350?

 

Oh I didn't mean to imply you couldn't swap the d60, lol. And yeah, F150s are coil sprung on the front; although the d60 can still be swapped onto a 150 with a bit of modification

 

Sure it could be done, but you'd probably want to swap the rear also so you didn't have different bolt patterns. And like you said, it wouldn't be a simple swap like it is in a 250.
