I have to go to the 'UserCP' page, but he hasn't listed his info there either.

I guess all I'd like to know at this point is if it's 4WD.

Easy to install/uninstall?

The axle stays as is on my truck, I gather ?
The scrap yard sells the whole rear diff and it's a straight swap ? Or does it come with the entire axle?
I'm not sure what you mean ? Did you quote the right post ?

EDIT, that was strange, I didn't get your full post at first.

Still not sure on everything you said. Your jumping ahead anyway, - did you confirm LS for yourself.....did you look in the door ?

No. You swap the whole housing and axles together. Remove the 4 Ubolts from the springs, remove the brake cable end from the drivers side attachment and unscrew your brake hose and drop the driveline and it's out on the ground. I did mine, using 2 bare wheels on my driveway and it took 2 hours to swap in and out by myself. If I'd had help, take 30 minutes off that time. You just roll out the old assy, swap the bare wheels to the new assy and roll it under the truck. You don't have to have it up so high with bare rims.

What friction is there to "modify" when it's non existent to begin with ?
Too much generic advice from Google and YouTube.
Friction modifier on a Ford Rear Diff, is vehicle specific.
Not a one size fits all.

Excuse me for thinking out loud.
That was sort of my question but I didn't go there.

Does the door jam say H9 ? If not , what does it say under axle code ?
