If you can read the axle code, 4L was the limited slip 4.30's and 8L was the 4.88 with limited slip. It appears that there was a high capacity tow option allowing you to get the 4.88 ratios and tow an additional 2 tons.
I'll climb under there later today and see what I can see.
I do know that it is a limited slip and from others it sounds like it has 4.88 gears.
The truck with only 160,000 miles is on its third engine. I believe the person who was the primary driver for years thought it was OK to travel at 80 mph.
I've read that redline on these 6.4s is 3700 rpm and anything over that starts floating valves and doing other valvetrain damage.
I'm not normally a 65 mph driver but the truck seems to be fairly comfortable there, even towing the snowcat.
I like the interior ergonomics better in this one than our 2017 F-250. Just seems more comfortable to me other than the ride. LOL
