Will these all-new Ford SRW trucks start coming with 11.5" rear axles to match GM and Dodge?
The AAM rear end in the Ram was the biggest reason I was anxious to go back to a Ford. Both the Hemi and Cummins powered 2500HD's didn't make it to 100k miles before needing a rebuild. The Sterling rear end in the F250 has been solid so far. The other reason was those little dried out ball joints up front on those spindly little upper control arms. The ancient design twin I-beam has also been solid so far.
I've never had an issue with AAM1150s on my trucks and they get put through the ringer. Are you sure it was the AAM1150 as until recently that was never fitted to gasoline Dodges.
Both the '03 Cummins and '05 Hemi powered 2500HD's were 10.5" AAM's. Pulled the same 10,040 lb 5th wheel with both 67~mph. A lot!
