Which rear end?

I have a 2013 F350 4x4 6.2 l with 4.30 gearing. The differential has an electronic locker. How can I find out which rear end I have? Thanks

There should be a tag on the differential. A dealership should be able to decode it for you or run your VIN and tell you. There might also be an axle code on the door sticker (there is on my '01) that they can decode.

If the truck is an F-350 SRW you have a Ford (Sterling) 10.5 differential.

I don't think the locking diff option was offered on the DRW trucks. IIRC, those came with Dana 80 differentials.

Count the amount of tires you have on the rear axle, 2 tires is a Ford 10.5, 4 tires is a Dana 80. Also the E locker was only in the Ford 10.5.
