One downside of the ever increasing engine power of these new trucks is this. A 10 year old Ford 5.4 V8 had a max of 300 HP and 365 lb/ft of torque. A new 3.5EB lays waste to those numbers and you're trying to control over 400 lb/ft of torque accelerating on slippery roads. Get snow tires, leave traction control on, and start off in 2nd gear would be my suggestions.

I bought it used and thought it had an LSD, but I guess I should have looked closer.

I have to assume all my old 2WD trucks had some sort of LSD.

Pretty sure the OP doesn't have an ELD, there'd be switch on the dash somewhere.
Did Ford even offer an LSD in that year? My buck is on an open diff.
