NOOB Question about rear differential type

[J_F250]

What is the stock rearend called? What is the ratio? I see diff covers for a Dana 44 and a Dana 60? What are those? Is it custom? If I wanted to buy a diff cover what do I need to look for? Thanks in advance

The covers usually list what trucks they fit. You will need one for a Ford Sterling 12 bolt. Your ratio would be on a tag on the housing and there will be a code in the door jam, there are different ratios depending on what your truck was ordered with. Your front axle would be a Dana 60. The Dana 60 and 44 are very common in many applications so that is why there are many aftermarket covers listed for them. If you get a Dana 60 cover be sure it is listed for the front as the rears can be different.

Ebay and look for Mag Hytec covers, they are nice.

What is the ratio?

Unless it was changed, the stock and only ratio on a F250 of your year is a 3.73.
