My van has a 2014 F350 rear axle under it, here is what I know:
- -It has both axles from the same 2014 F350. With 4.30 gears and 37s it runs down the road real nice with plenty of power and speedometer is close enough to accurate, reads 2 or 3 MPH high at 80.
- -Superduty wheels and brakes on all 4 corners
- -Late model superduty hubs with 2002-ish F250 ABS sensors spliced in to van sensor plugs keeps the front ABS happy
- -Rear axle has been modified to acceot 2006 E-350 ABS sensor (hole in pumpkin, modified tone ring on carrier, abandoned rear ABS sensors at wheels) keeps rear ABS happy
- -New spring perches and shock mounts welded to rear axle to accomodate Econoline frame width
- -New high arch rear springs without a silly amount of lift blocks to accomodate 37s.
- -Factory e-locker works perfect, just feed it switched 12 volts.
- -Ford spec calls for 12V to engage the rear locker and then drops to 5V to sustain, in practice this is not needed, plenty of threads on this on Ford Truck Enthusiasts
Simple swap, would reccommend. No more rear spacers, same bolt pattern front and rear, big honkin breaks.
