Re: what rear axle 2002 250HD

Both were possible depending on the engine option.
Both were made by AAM and both are good axles.
I wouldn't hesitate to use either one.

The LB7 Dirtymax and L18 8.1L equipped pickup trucks got the 11.5 and the Allison transmission.
The LQ4 6.0L pickups and the 2500 Suburbans got the 10.5 and the 4L80E.

In a 2500 they'll both have 8 lug hubs.
Look at the SPID sticker in the glovebox for the axle ratio RPO code.
G80 was limited slip in these years not the Eaton Gov Bomb IIRC.

You can tell right away which AAM 14bolt full floating axle it is by looking at the pinion support housing.
The 10.5" AAM Pinion Support is bolted in just like the GM corporate 14bolt it evolved from.
The 11.5" doesn't have a bolt in pinon housing.
