Seems pretty cool here

[airwaybill]

Just joined up to get in on the fun. Bought and 88 F250 4x4 from a friend and I'm lovin it so far.

Cleaned it all up and put the new cd player and aftermarket speakers in it. Workin on the engine little by little. It seems to have been a little neglected. Some loose valve covers and hoses. Exhaust gasket on pass. side was all but gone. So I spent a weekend puting flowtech headers and dual exhaust on it. Sounds so much better now and runs much better. Also has the MSD cap, coil and rotor, plus accel wires. All the hard emmissions tubes are brittle and need replacing so I'm workin on that.

So far so good. Next will be the intake and TB spacer. Plus some steps for the wife, she's 5'2" and the truck is on 35s with eagle alloys. I'll get a pic up soon.

One question, can anyone tell me what front axle it has? I know it's supposed to be stamped but I can't find it. What's the most common or can I tell by bolt pattern or something? Need to do the ball joints any advice?

Other than that, just hangin out in FLA with my truck

Welcome to FTF!

Is it an independent front suspension?
Or is it a solid front axle?

Well sure...and let me just say, LAMBO doors are not for people with single digit temperatures! (rant coming when I get the wifes transmission in her truck out!)

 

[klatt_89]

I can't wait to see this rant!

That's not a solid axle-- F250s didnt get solid axles til the super duty's came.

Yours will either be a heavy duty D44 or a D50. I'm fairly certain it's a D50 but the easy way to tell is by looking at your hubs and lockouts. Tell me if the hub housing is FLUSH with the sides of the lockout, or if the lockout diameter is SLIGHTLY smaller than your hub. Make sense?

 

[Truckin4life]

I didnt think so either skan, but woudnt hurt to ask.

As for deciphering if it s a hd44 or a 50, there will be a 50 stamped on the bottom of the diff.
If its not there then its likely to be a hd44, as i have the dana 50 and the 50 is stamped on the bottom, its not stamped more like raised numbers.

 

[Bloodhound]

Welcome to FTF. A 88 F250 shold be a dana 50.

 

[airwaybill]

Hub housing is flush. I thought it was a 50 but couldn't find a stamp. Didn't look at the bottom though. I'll take a look.

Yeah it's EFI. I want the spacer for the sound as well. Plus I heard it will give a more even fuel/air mix.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll get pics up soon. Gotta fix some slight body damage first.

 

[Truckin4life]

Yea it should be i agree...
The "stamping" is easy to see.
Crawl under the truck behind the front tires...
at towards the bottom of the diff, and you should see it...
Not on the plate, covering the front and bottom, but on the back towards the bottom.
