Sterling 10.5 ?

[chrispaine]

All I can make out on my rear diff tag is 10.5... I take it I have a Sterling 10.5 then correct?
And I can't make out much at all on the front.. I think I see the number 60 so is it a safe guess that its the DANA 60?

I am going to change the fluids and need to tell the Amsoil guy how much I need tonight! thanks.

My 2000 F-250 has the 10.5 I think the front is a dana 50 though...maybe someone will chime in here to verify that....Fred

Your 2000 has a Dana 50 front axle. Buy 6 quarts of fluid and you'll be good to go.

I thought the rear was 10.25 not 10.5?

94-97 trucks have 10.25
99-04 trucks have 10.5
05-07 trucks have 10.5 with thicker tubes, and some other stuff changed.

According to the owners manual (I'm viewing it RIGHT NOW on a PDF), your front axle takes 3.8 pints, that's just shy of 2 quarts. The rear axle takes 6.9 pints, or 3.5 quarts. 6 quarts is plenty of fluid...

this would be the same for an 03 correct?
