Axle grease is used for the axle bearings that support the axle shafts. Rear end fluid also known as gear oil which is used in the rear differential to lube the ring and pinion gears.
What type of rear axle fluid is used in a 2006 GMC 5500
Usually tapered roller bearings.
It depends if it is a 4 wheel drive truck. A rear driveshaft is used to drive the rear axle. A front driveshaft is used to drive the front axle on a 4X4.

There is no "standard" rear axle as most cutaway E-350s were used for ambulances, service trucks.... Look on the drivers door jamb for the axle code, then do a search for it (ford axle e3). My E-350 cutaway has an E3 axle with a 4.30 ratio.
Take the entire hub off and heat it up. If it's small enough you can actually just stick it in an oven for a little while (250 - 300 deg. F) or some other heat source. Let it cool down and the bearings will come out much easier. This trick used to work great on rear carrier axle bearings for 4-wheelers. The thermal expansion will do the work for you.

A propeller shaft (or prop shaft) is the usually found on the under side of a car and links the engine to the rear axle (in rear wheel drive vehicles). It is used to transfer the engine power, to the rear axle and subsequently the rear wheels.
Wheelbase on heavy 3 axle trucks is measured from the center of the steer axle (1st axle) to the trunnion, or the midpoint BETWEEN the 2 drive axles (axles 2 and 3), not to the center of the rear drive axle (axle 3). Axle to axle is only used on 2 axle trucks. Note: be careful using wheelbase to calculate bridge laws, which can use 1st axle to 3rd axle measurements in its calculation depending on the state/province.
The speedometer signal comes from the abs system, via the rear axle speed sensor. The rear axle speed sensor is mounted on the top center of the axle. The automatic transmission also has an output speed sensor, on the rear driver side, that is used for shift timing.
A truck with three rear axles and one of the axles is a drop axle that is only used when carrying heavy loads.
The 1997 Ford Thunderbird has a four bolt rear and. The rear and gear ratio is 3.23. The rear axle has a weight rating of 1600 pounds.
