I'm looking into buying new rotors and the parts stores keep asking if I have a 3300 lbs axel or a 4000 lbs axel. What does this mean and how can I tell? I have a 93 dualy 2 door extended cab 2wd. BTW, I've noticed that the rotors for the 4000 are cheaper.

 

I could be wrong, but if it is a diesel, then it has the 4000lb axle.

 

You should be able to look on the drivers side door or door post on the ID tag and it'll have something like GAWR front, And that # there should be what the weight #for the front axle. TractorMike

 

Exactly! But it won't say exactly 4,000 lbs. It's something more like 3800 or 3900.

 

The exception to that location is if the truck was sold as an incomplete vehicle originally i.e. cab/chassis - The sticker is under the hood... Mine does label it as a 4000lb axle

 

Mine sayes 4000 lbs also on the door sill sticker.

 

Just went out and checked the sticker on mine to be sure I didn't make a mistake Mine says 3830 lbs. I wonder why its different?

 

For one reg. cab vs club cab. My brothers club cab says 4000 and my reg. cab is 3830. Really the answer I don't know.

 

IIRC the lighter axle is the D44. All of the diesel trucks have the D60, which is the heavier weight rating axle.

As far as 2wd I dunno.

They were talking 2 wd. Being a 350 diesel it "should" be the 4000 lb axle. The lower control arms are VERY different. Go to Reg 's thread about a 75 conversion and he has a bunch of pictures on his web site of the 4000 axle/control arms.

 

MY D250 has 4000 front axle, says so on the sticker on underside of hood.

 

Many did, the 3300 lb axle was somewhat rare.
