This is a fairly common problem. If you do a search here in this forum you will find a couple of ways to repair. I would give you links to a few but my hard drive crashed a couple of weeks ago and I lost all of my help threads.

As far as the dipstick flange, https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...with-pics.html. Pretty easy to fix, just DONT drop the nut flange into the pan. For the limited slip, get onto some loose dirt and give it some fuel...if you leave 2 lines, its a limited, if one, its an open carrier. Another way is to jack the rear up and spin the tire on one side. If the other tire goes the same way, it is limited. Make sure the trucks front wheels are chocked if you do this, as the truck needs to be in neutral. There is a chance you have a limited slip, as the traction lok axles have been known not to lock up very well... I remedied that by using no friciton modifier... good luck and welcome!
