Default F 350 Rear end questions

My 1999 F350 7.3 Diesel, 2WD 6 speed has the following VIN
1FTSF30F1XED21331

I check the Ford translation site looking to find out the info on the rear end.
I'd like to know the ration and if it is limited slip or not.
Thank you.
Eric

Look in the drivers door jamb at the VCL. Its a white label near the door striker. Under 'axle' whats the code listed?

I believe it is a limited slip differential with a 3.73 ratio.

Folks, Thanks!
I had some trouble recently. One wheel got to spinning as it was in the mud the driver;s wheel that was on the cement just sat there and didn't help at all to move the truck.
What a good technique to overcome this issue?


OH I have 350 pounds of extra weight aft of the rear wheels (Between the wheel wells and the tailgate.

Thanks for the help!
Eric
