If you get any 99-03 F250 or F350 SRW it will have a Sterling 10.25 rear. If you get an F350 DRW it will be a Dana 80 rear with a Dana 60 front.
If you get a 99-01 F250 or F350 with the exception of the dually it will have a Dana 50 Front axle (some F350 SRW may have come with D60 fronts but the majority are NOT). The 02+ have Dana 60 fronts.
The ball joints ARE a problems as well as the rotors and wheel bearings on these trucks. Both are at-home fixes. Powerslot rotors with LTB Hawk Pads will run you a few pennies over OEM but will last alot longer and increase your trucks ability to brake.
Hope this helps.
