8.8' Ford?
I have a 1997 F150 XLT 4X4 W/ tow package. My axle code is "19" which is a 3.55 open. It looks like an 8.8", is this correct? If so, what is the spline count, 31? What I want to do is put in a limited slip differential or a powertraxs in plae of the open diff. Anyone know what would be the best for my truck? What I would like is a good differential for regular road driving but also for driving in the mud, snow and ice that we have here in central Michigan.

well, if it looks like a 8.8, thats what it is.
The 8.8 and 9.75" look nothing alike, so there is no confusing the two.
something like a lock right, EZ locker, no-slip, or quick loc will be alot easier and cheaper than putting a Limited slip.

Great site. I am for sure going to buy a rear from these guys. Heard about them before on Trucks! so I know they are reputable.
