limited slip

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site and have a question to ask. I have a early 99 f-250 reg cab 4x4(built3/98). I've owned this truck for several years and the only complaint I have is that is does not have limited slip. Is there a way to have that changed without braking the bank?

You should be able to put a limited slip in fairly easy, wouldn't think it would break the bank by any means, it when you go to changing gears that it starts to ge spendy. You might be able to find the limited slip at a salvage yard. Or you could go even better and go with a locker of some type. I already have a limited slip and it does what I need it to do, but if I was going to put something in, I'd probably go with an E-Locker of some type.

where or what type should I look for? If I get one from the salvage yard, do I have to change anything with the front axle? Thanks for your help

as long as you leave the gearing alone with the rear the front will be fine.
