Rear Diff.....
Greetings all.......
Attached is a pic of my door jamb sticker. Can some one please tell me which rear diff I have? Limited slip??
Also, I will be replacing the fluid in the rear diff....I found a Felpro rear diff gasket at Advance......is this ok to use? will it leak??
Thanks...........

Open means no traction aid.
You can run a gasket, but even the FSM calls for a bead of silicone by itself. You're going to need to run some silicone or similar sealant on that gasket anyhow, so I wouldn't bother.

Correct. Get the truck on jack stands or a lift, put the trans in N and rotate one tire, if the other tire moves the same direction, it's limited slip, if not, it's open.

Enough to run a bead around the diff cover.

I used a gasket last time and it seeps, I will use RTV next time.
I have an open rear end but I am getting clutch chatter when turning so I am wondering if I have a LS rear axle. I need to add modifier, what is the correct Ford stuff for our trucks?
