F 250: Limited slip questions.
With the recent snow that we had here and needing 4x4 to get around my driveway in all vehicles for the last 2+ weeks, I'd like to change out the open rear on our '05 F250. I don't think that a locker is what I'm looking for, as I am not going to need it much and I'd rather not have to hit a switch to have the ability for both wheels to turn.
Is there an axle that I could look for in junk yards that might have the limited slip already installed like on the Ranger? If so, what would I look for? If I have to buy one, what are some decent/inexpensive brands for the limited slip, and where is a good place to buy from?

A quick google search shows this. Hope it helps.

Awesome, I didn't know they came with limited slip. Now to find what gear ratio I have and see what's around the local junk yards. Thanks.
I'm still interested in what else is out there after market if anybody can tell me about those.
