If you need to know if yours has one, check out the Axle Code on the door jam sticker and compare it to the article in the Tech Section.

Not %100 sure but I would think it started on Job One of the Ranger production in 1983.

Yeah, but the early ones, 83-85 were (optionally) equipped with a Borg-Warner
"Cone type" limited slip axle that now a days we know (and despise) as the "auburn" limited slip.

the more familar "S-Spring" multi-disc clutch limited slip made it's debut in late 1985.

The Torsen worm gear diff was introduced in what? 2001? and then only in the FX4 rangers.

I had one on my '84' BII, had to order the rear full size tire carrier because of it.
