Hi all, Thought you might like this link as much as I did. Found it in the 6.7L PSD forum (Thanks!)...but it applies to all FORD fans! Gives your exact Build Date...along with configuration and more. Find outstanding FSA's, service schedules and vehicle conversions. Enjoy... biz

Thanks for posting. Build date was 4/5. I ordered with the Elocking axle, but it says the truck does not have the Elocking axle.

How can you find out what job your truck was built in and what is the difference from job 1 or 2?

my 11 250 was built 8/23/10

The build date on that site isn't accurate for my truck. Mine's showing 8/10/10 when I know for fact that it was built 12/8/10.

I find it interesting that my truck's feather list says "Less Rear Axle Limited Slip Diff"
I know my truck didn't come with the Elocker...so I thought these trucks came standard with a Limited Slip Diff if an Elocker wasn't installed.

I agree. If the build date was correct for my truck it will confirm my greatest fear that my truck was built the day before a holiday.

Yeah, not everything adds up on the minor features page. Mine states: Less Elect Locking Differential, Less Anti-Lock Braking System..

Both of which my truck has. Who knows what's up with it.

I love that there's a pic of a car (Focus?) next to the vin results and underneath it a message stating *Illustration shows model only.

I believe this image is only displayed because there is no image for our truck available....as the URL to the image is "http://www.etis.ford.com/img/vehicle/missing.jpg"




I believe you are right in regards to the 'features list'...as my list didn't even mention "Elect Locking Differential"

Haa haa, yeah that one. I should make it my avatar...

Unless they made changes with 2011 Job 1 & 2...to the 2012 Job 1 & 2...your truck has an open rear diff...if no elocker.

Only options available for F350 SRW 6.2L =

3.73 non limited slip
3.73 elock diff
4.30 elock diff

...again...unless they made recent changes.

True statement! Now I remember why I got it. No locker = open diff. The limited slip was only available in the DRW.

I looked at my trucks original invoice and it says:

3.73 Ratio Regular Axle
Job #2 Build Indentifier

It doesn't say anything about limited slip...

Yup..."regular" equates to open diff. No biggie...thou...

It is a biggie. What the heck am I gonna do with an open-diff 4x4? A limited-slip 4x2 would likely perform better in the mud. I bought this truck under the assumption (assume is the problem) that it was limited slip.
