F350 Questions...

I have a 1997 F350 XLT 4X4 5.8 automatic regular cab. I don't have an owner's manual (which would probably answer at least a couple of these questions!)

1) What weight of fluid does Ford recommend for the rear axle - I have the original window sticker, and it is a limited slip or traction-lok axle, so I will need additive also.

2) Where the heck is the OBDII connector in this truck? I can't find it anywhere! 1997 should have one, shouldn't it?

3) My heat and A/C will only blow through the defroster ducts - what specifically is the cause of this, and where exactly should I be looking?

4) There is a bracket that bolts to the muffler, and goes through a rubber insulator to support the exhaust system - does anybody have the current Ford part # for this?

5) Does anyone have the part numbers, or an aftermarket source for the front brake dust shields (backing plates)?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!
