Mine was 125,000 I believe. Like the transmission and transfer cases. If you have a 2012 I'd double check that since that's what I have.Manual wrote:

If you have a Dana rear axle which comes on a DRW F350 you have to change the fluid but on a F250/F350 SRW comes with the Ford rear axle which doesn't require a fluid change. I'm going to need to have my serpentine belt replaced so I will probably have the Ford dealer change the fluids in the front and rear axles. Having said that I usually inspect them for leaks when a change the engine oil and both of them are bone dry.
I'm on my second Super Duty with ~200k miles with the factory lube in the axles.
