Exclamation DIFFS SIZE CONFUSION ???

Hello Everyone,

I searched....and searched. I cant find info on the stock Diffs.. FRONT & BACK.


My truck is a 99 f-250 super duty, reg cab, long box, 4x4, manual

I assume i got a tow package as i got a trans cooler...
I think I have 3.73's... as per ford... that is all they could tell me ???

I looked at the door tag, tried to find a VIN decoder, no tags or what so ever on the diffs ...the works...

i got people telling i got rockwells... sterlings... dana 40,60,70,80 ect...

Any help would really appreciated.

If you have f250, you have a sterling 10.5 rear end. I would need the door code to tell you the ratio.


The front end should be a dana 60.

Your rear axle is a 10.5 steerling rear end. THe front can be a dana 50 or 60. There is probably a tag on the diff cover that will give you info that a drivetrain shop can make usefull.

Most of the superduty's I've seen have d60's. The OBS f250's had d50's.

Exclamation

I believe the Dana 60 is 9.75"
Sterling is a 10.5" ring gear is just made by a different company and is roughly equivalent to Dana 70??

Right ?
