what rear axel do you have?

[JMD4x4]

I need to know when was the 1st year that the E350 came with rear disc brakes and what axel (sterling 10.25 or 10.5) does it have? and what bolt pattern does it have?

thanks

JMD4x4,to my knowledge,all Ford vans have been using Dana 60 semi or full float rear axles for awhile. All I know is my 1994 Ford E-250 van has the semi float Dana 60 with rear drum brakes so Ford probably changed after this date to the rear brake rotor design.
My 2000 E-350 features a full float Dana 60 with rear brake rotors.
I'am replacing my Dana 60 with a custom built Dana 80 axle assy. with ARB air locker and will probably sell my Dana 60 once I rebuild it.

Also,keep in mind that Ford started using Dana 60 semi float axles in all E-350 cargo vans starting in 2001. The E-350's used to have full float axles but leave it to the Ford bean counters to cheapen things up. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

The first year for rear disc brakes was 1999.
