Talking '08 4x4 front axle?

Hi, everyone.

I'm new to the SD crowd, after just buying my new '08 F250 last week.



This thing is a tank compared to my '07 F150, and I think I'm gonna get some great use out of it.

Now, I know it has a 10.5" rear axle, but I can't find much about the front axle...anyone have any idea what's under this thing?

Thanks!

You have a Dana 60 front axle. Good luck with the new truck.

What engine and gears are in your truck? If you have 4.30 gears, then you have a Dana Super 60 front axle.

Judging by the exhaust tip I'll say he's got the 6.4L.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

As some of you stated, it is the 6.4L diesel, and it's got 3.73 gears, which I believe are the only gears available for this configuration...

Thanks for the great info!
