General Specifications

Note. Use Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 for complete refill of Dana limited slip rear axles. Add 0.2 liter (8 oz) for complete refill.

Note. No Data axles for E250, E350 or E450 have synthetic lubricant as factory fill. If any Econoline vehicle will be towing a trailer frequently, particularly in hot or hilly area, it is recommended that the axle be filled with 75W-140 lubricant.

The driveline transfers engine torque to the drive wheels. Power is transmitted through the transmission to the driveshaft (4602) and then to the rear axle assembly (4006).

There are two types of driveshafts used

  1. A one-piece driveshaft for standard wheelbase vehicles (124 in and 138 in).
  2. A two-piece driveshaft for longer wheelbase vehicles. The two-piece design includes a front, or "coupling" shaft, a rubber-insulated frame-mounted driveshaft center bearing, a splined slip joint and an intermediate universal joint (158 in and greater).

For additional information on the driveshaft, refer to DRIVESHAFT .

For additional information on the rear axle (4001), refer to REAR DRIVE AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL-DANA 60 & 70 , WHEEL HUBS & BEARINGS-FULL FLOATING AXLE-DANA , REAR DRIVE AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL-FORD 8.8" RING GEAR or REAR DRIVE AXLE/DIFFERENTIAL-FORD 9.75" RING GEAR .

The engine angle is built into the engine mounts. If the engine angle is out of specification, the engine mounts must be inspected for damage.

Scheme 1: Vehicle Certification (VC) Label Example

The vehicle certification (VC) label is located in the driver door jamb. The axle code is on the VC label. For additional information on the VC label. Refer to IDENTIFICATION CODES to cross reference the axle code to the ratio.

Scheme 4

Scheme 4: Ford Axle Identification Tag Denoting Interchangeability Affected Internally
CAUTIONThe metal axle identification tag is the official service identifier. Do not damage the tag. Always reinstall the tag after removing it for axle inspection/repair.

The axle identification tag identifies a particular axle design, a specific ratio, and if it is a conventional or limited slip (Traction-Lok® type. In addition, the plant code will not change as long as that particular axle assembly never undergoes an external design change. If, however, an internal design change takes place during the production life of the axle and that internal change affects parts interchangeability, a dash and numerical suffix is added to the plant code. This means that as an assembly both axles are interchangeable; however, internally they are different. Therefore, each requires different internal parts at the time of repair.
