difference in front axles

[coondog491]

Got a question for you guys.

Is there any difference in the front axles between a 250 and a 350?
Or are they the same?

the answer is depends on the year and I'm guessing you are referring to 4wd trucks

the early SD F250's got a funky dana 50 they look as big as a 60 but run a smaller carrier, ring gear & pinon, The F350's got Dana 60's. at some point I don't recall off the top of my head all F250/350 4wd trucks got Dana 60's.

Hmmmmmm.....I didn't know that. Anybody know when that change occurred? I thought that the 250's still had the Dana 50.

based on this article '02 is where the swap happened. and prior all except dually trucks got the D50 while the dually trucks got D60's

Here is a thread on FTE with some info for those looking to ID their axle
