1990 ford diesel axle options.

[7.3 man]

I dont have the parts books or access to them and was wondering what axle options came with the F 250 and F 350 diesel trucks? And I'd like to install a cover that has the fill hole in it on the rear axle.

What are you looking to do? the stock rears are Sterling 10-1/4 or Dana 70. is yours blown up?

the sterling has a fill plug on the housing. its on the drivers side.

I was thinking about putting duals on and a flat bed. It's not blown by no means, or do you think the stock cover will work? But my uncle told me it would be more work I'd have to get the 1 ton dual axles to make it look right, he said there about a half inch to and inch shorter. But I think I'll just put the factory bed on it and keep it like it is.

dunno Ive never messed with DRWs.

Are you talking about the pumpkin cover? I guess I'm confused as to what you are asking. the fill port is on the side of the pumpkin on the sterling. you only need to remove the cover if you want to drain the fluid.

I didnt know why they done it like that? I was talking about the pumkin cover.

My 94 f350 has the 10.25 rear. I was confused as how to add fluid because I couldn't find a fill plug anywhere, so I pulled the vss and put it in through there.
I can't help you with any measurements, since mine is a chassis cab.

You can get covers that have a fill plug though. Even a dipstick.

ok the fill plug is on the drivers side. IIRC it takes a 3/8 square drive to fit it. Its there trust me but it might be covered in grease.

You either have the dually axle from an F350 drw or you have the DRW from C n C truck.

This F350 drw axle is the same axle as the HD250's, but its longer in width, and a few other things. You could do adapters to your axle or look into buying one from a truck DRW.

Look through these threads and it will tell you what you need to know, im about to hop in bed from working all night so im to lazy to search through lol.

Thats just the differences between the Dana and Sterling engineers as to where the fill plug should go. Sterlings fill to bottom of hole, Dana's fill to 1/2" below the hole. If you want a cover with a hole in it there are aftermarket covers with holes in them.

Nice, I found some on Advance auto parts.

 

[79jasper]

IIRC, you can get them off the 08+ trucks. At least for the 10.25 axle.
Might save a few bones that way.

 

[7.3 man]

I was thinking about that.
