Unhappy axle lock

I need help finding the right pos lock for my 01 f250 SD 5.4L Supercab shortbed. I have full axle on front and rear. I believe its 4.10 gear but could b 3.73. I use the truck in fields and to plow in snow. Im sick of the one tire fire when it starts to slip. its always the easiest tire that spins. Doesn't make sense why it does it. I don't have a ton of money but could use a good fix for atleast the rear end. My boss don't like pulling me out all the time. haha

Your question is kind of cryptyc, but I think you are asking about how to improve your limited slip differential.

First, if you even have it, the Ford limited slip is very limited at best, and they wear out fast.

If you really want to improve it for the least amount of coin, check out the Truetrac by Eaton.
Detroit Truetrac Differentials

It doesn't matter what gear ratio you have.

I agree with the Detroit True Tracs. You can install them front and rear and have MUCH improved traction.
