Not all the 94 F350s with 7.3 diesels came with dual-mass flywheels, and many of those that did, got converted back to a standard one-piece.
About the gear ratios - how do you figure the 5 speed is designed for a 5.44 axle ratio? That truck would be revving at 2800 RPM at 65 MPH which is not good for a diesel. It would be awful to drive.

My Dodge with the Cummins 5.9 has the Gertrag 5 speed and 3.50 axles and works great - for towing and for highway driving.
