Hi Pnichols I did see that website, but I also found another fordtrucks..., site that listed the 83 axle for the E450 dually as a Dana with the 4.56 gears.

Yeah ... I saw a lot of confusing info when doing my research. I noticed that the same number designator was often used for different Ford vehicle models ... so "83" may not have been a particular unique differential type used in Econoline E450 models.
For instance, in that link I posted above the 83 number says in the far right column that it's what's used in an F350. How closely is an F350 related to an E450 such that the same differential would be used for the two different weight classes?
