Stupid is as stupid does
We should assemble a table of info in the first post of the thread. What years had what axles, reference photos, spline counts for the different diffs+axle shafts, etc.
Did you just volunteer to do that?We should assemble a table of info in the first post of the thread. What years had what axles, reference photos, spline counts for the different diffs+axle shafts, etc.
This is finally confirmed:Use a 2005+ F250/F350 unit bearing and a 14.53” 2004 F450 rotor. I think they might have changed the rotor size in later years but for a good while after 2005 it was still 14.53”. That will get you back to 8 on 170mm but I am not for sure that the spacer will work with the 2005+ unit bearings.
Yeah, but our axles are already installed.If you can find out what those hubs were used on you can probably just buy a junkyard axle for about the same price.

No electric lockers in any of the DRW axles in Ford 17+ right?The 2017 Dana 60 should have the fat 28 spline pinion instead of the regular 29 spline. The 2017 and newer F450 and F550 use a M300 rear axle and I am pretty sure the electric locker isn’t offered in them. I think open differential and a trac-loc are the only thing available for them.
They're controlled by ABS and individual rear brake circuits. So there is traction control, but no locker in the diff.No electric lockers in any of the DRW axles in Ford 17+ right?
Yeah that's that I meant.No, he's saying instead of buying those hubs new, find whatever truck had them from the factory and find them for way cheaper in a junkyard.
I spent 30 minutes looking for this part number in the online spicer catalogs but it's not coming up
Missed it by that much... I asked them for wheel bolt pattern dimensions.
Can someone measure their old hub, please?
GLTHFJ60 looking at you...
I have a call into Dana Spicer to ID that hub.I recycled all of them a long time ago, lol.
We can look up the spindle dimensions most likely, at a minimum the bearing numbers which gives us the bearing dimensions, but again, I can't find that part number in the online spicer catalogs to find any associated parts or diagrams.
I also found an interesting Ford doc that may answer some of the questions here.
Thing is, this thread is about the rear ends and I think you're asking about the front.Was thinking about this today, so I finally broke out a tape...
According to the PDF, the WMS for the dually should be 74", but please correct me. I measured the the spare axle I have and it's 72.5" WMS.
If Billavista's d60 bible is correct, the front is 69.25... with the dually adapters removed, but keeping the 2" 10-lug adapters, the WMS could end up being 72.5"...
Thing is, this thread is about the rear ends and I think you're asking about the front.
That said: Which dually? Which year?
I don't have 2" 10 lug adapters. Mine are like 4.5" - This is a 20101 F550 "Fat boy" Super 60.
If we're talking rears, no adapters, it's all 10 lug flange.
You agreed that this would be a rear end, bible.You forgot that I started this thread? so it's all about me!
But I don't think we ever got the narrow WMS... so I measure. You're welcome.
The 8-10lug adapters on my front D60 are aftermarket... 2" thick
