    Information on speedometer

    I'm by no way an authority on this matter by a long shot. I was lead to belive that when they switched from dana rear axles to the ford(sterling) they also did away with cable driven speedos. On our rig we built. we used a 95 cab and the electronics along with it, We got the full harness for the...

    Just a follow up to this post. Thanks for the input guys on the direction to follow. For you guys that told me the axle ratio was a 3.55, you were correct, and I was wrong. I'm never afraid to admit my stupidness lol. WE found a sterling 10.25 in a u pull it close to here. It was a 1989 axle...

    Information on speedometer

    sle2115, Thanks for the info, I guess I will start by saying that we assumed the rear was a 3.73 because when we bought it, the guy told us it was a 4.10. But we did the tire rotation/driveshaft rotation count and came up with 3.73 but it is all possible that it could be a 3.55. It aint written...

    i think during the mid 90's it would have been, but the axles are the original ones from 1985 .only the bed, cab, front end, and all the wiring is now 95. The frame and all the suspension is 1985

    I was kinda thinking along those lines but wasnt sure. I've found a replacement axle for it, abit a 3.55 gearing. I will also have to replace the front gearing also because the truck currently has 3.73 gearing.

    Last year my sons and I did a ground up restoration of a 1985 f250 idi. Since the bed and cap was junk, we found a 1995 bed and cab from a f150 in a junk yd that was in perfect shape and used that, including all of the 1995 wiring harness. My question is this, the 1995 has an all electronic...

    ZF5 2wd to ZF5 4x4 questions ?

    From what I understand about the 4wheel drive zf-5 and the 2 wheel drive model is the 2 wheel drive model does not have the tail section needed to bolt up to a TC. Unless you were fortunate enuf to get the 2 wheel setup with the driveline brake attached to it out of a 450 or 550 superduty...
