I'm happy...

I just sold my Ranger and I bought a 1988 F-250 4x4.

The F-250 has a 302 in it. It already has dual exhaust tips on the back, don't know if it's true duals though... I'll find out Tuesday.

Just in case I get the itch, what are some easy bolt ons for the 302 truck motor?

And does anyone know if the 1988's came with a limited slip rear differential? If not, what is a good aftermarket brand to put in there?

I'm not trying to make a serious off-roader, but just in case I hit some slippery stuff, I don't want to be doing a one wheel peel...

Thanks,
Dave.

LS is also indicated on the door sticker by the AXLE code beginning with "H" - if it starts with "1", it's open. 3/4-ton trucks may use some other codes, though...
