no expert here but from my experience there is a HD cast into the housing look for it top of rib left side of the "heaviest" Dana 60 ,otherwise the diameter of the axle tubes determines the lightness of the housing with 3 inch tubes being the heaviest---the OEM centers are really the same---supposedly there is a "501" Ford Dana 60 that is the lightest but I do not know what vehicles it came in--FED 387
