Interesting info on F250/F350 rear axles. UPDATE 01 24 14

Made a trip down to the parts counter to see if there is an actual difference between F250 and F350 rear axles. Well, it depends!!!! Ford uses two different diffs. Sterling 10.5 and Sterling 11.5...

The SRW Ford diesels and larger gasoline engines use the larger Sterling axle. The smaller gasoline engine uses the smaller axle. The specification page muddles this fact which leads to the confusion. It is done strictly for cost saving when you buy the base engine.

DRW uses a different axle if you have a Ford - Dana 80, if my memory is correct.
