I'm working on a 1993 D350 that needs ball joints (big suprise) when I look up the parts it has two different ball joints for with and without 3800 or 4000 lb axle.

How do I tell the difference?

Thanks guys

Tom, give super Dave a call. With the VIN he can look up the axle for you.

I thought 93 was still a King Pin setup on the front? Maybe that's the difference, I know the Cummins trucks got the heavier front axle, and I'm fairly certain those were a King Pin setup. Maybe the smaller axle was a ball joint setup.
Here's some info on Dodge front axles:

According to that chart all the 350s should have gotten the heavier front axle.
Hope that helps some. I'm sure Super Dave can help even more with VIN specific info.
