04 f350 LB CC SW. What rear end do I have. Is it limited slip?

There should be a tag on one of the rear cover bolts that will have that info.

There is also a rear end code on the door tag. For a cheap laugh, two foot it, mine only spun the right rear before I put in a True Track.

Your rear is a Sterling 10.5

The gear ratio and whether or not it has a limited slip will be on a tag held on by the diff cover bolts. The limited slips are about worthless in these trucks, so even if it does have one then it will probably still do a one tire fire burnout instead of both. I know mine does and it has a limited slip factory.

Yea I knew it was the 10.50 but I was wondering the book says the fluids never need to be changed but when I go around corners slow its popping like the clutches are sticking.

When I bought my truck it was doing the same thing your describing and I changed the fluid and put in two bottles of the Ford limited slip additive and it stopped shuddering. BTW, the truck had 92k on it
