Nope, she is a 3/4 ton Powerstroke, factory rear height and modified to put down about twice the factory HP and TQ, see pic below for list of mods;
That’s why I’m worried about getting a junkyard rear, I’m worried that it might break just like this one did. I was hoping to find out about some sort of bigger/better kit I could put in it. I found out I can get a set of Yukon gears for $255 and a master installation kit for $290 so that’s about $550 just for parts and I still will not have limited slip or posi, that will apparently add about another $600 to the cost. I really don’t got the extra cash right now to do this “right”. I checked with car-parts.com earlier today and it looks like a used complete rear would be around $750.
I will be doing whatever repair myself because I can’t make myself let anyone else with a wrench near my baby, partially I don’t trust dealerships and partly I want to know what’s going on first hand. I admit I know little about diffs but I do know they have to be setup right and gear mesh checked, surely if I can rebuild the engine I can figure out the rear-end with a little help from folks like yall on the net and my service manual.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
