Section 05-02C: Differential, Limited Slip, Ford 10.25-Inch Ring Gear | 1996 F-250, F-350 Equipped with Ford 10.25-Inch Ring Gear Axle and Limited Slip Differential Workshop Manual |
The Ford limited slip differential option is available on F-250 and F-350 vehicles with 10.25-inch ring gear rear axles.
The limited slip assembly, except for the differential case (4204) and its internal components, is identical to the conventional rear axle (4001). The limited slip differential (4026) employs two sets of multiple-disc clutches to control differential action. The side gear mounting distance is controlled by 10 clutch plates and one Belleville spring plate. The differential clutch pack consists of two plate designs: a splined clutch plate that engages the splines of the side gear hub, and alternate-tabbed or stationary clutch plates.
Each differential clutch pack is premeasured for proper stack height. Do not separate differential clutch packs and intermix the clutch plates and clutch discs.
