Note it indicates the rear axel is different internally between the F250 and F350. The other thing that is strange is that the F250 diesel comes with vacuum brakes instead of the hydroboast of the F350. Another person told me this was correct and that Ford was adding a vacuum pump to the 250 diesels to do this. At some point after 2013 I think Ford dropped this and went to hydroboast for all of the diesels.
This is a known mess up in the way Ford placed specs according to Ford diesel truck techs on several websites.
The 2 pinion should be under the F450...
The 1.50/1.57/37 spline comes under the F350 DRW....
Just a point here but even if the axle diameter was different it wouldn't make the load carried any difference as a rear full floating axle don't carry the load. Fords list the same tow rating for the F250 and F350 SRW in most cases.
Specs tells us the engine/tranny and both axles can be the same all depending on cab selections/2wd vs 4wd in some cases.
As was mentioned we can find small differences even in the F350 SRW truck line with all their different RAWR and GVWR packages such as a 10000 gvwr F350 .....same as the F250 10000 gvwr with exception of the 250 at 6100 rawr vs some F350 srw at 6290 rawr.
However even Fords spring rating specs can be the same for both size trucks depending on package selections.
