There is no shims to reduce the backlash in a diff. The backlash comes from incorrect thrust washes behind the side gears . They wear and allow the tooth clearance to become excessive . Using new washes will bring the backlash back into specs.. Check bushes in the gears and shaft condition that the gears are mounted on.

SOURCE: Transmission trouble on 2002 Ford E-450 Super Duty

Hi, this is a defective OD shift solenoid that is located inside the trans pan. you will have to drop this pan in order to extract it for replacement. this solenoid, if damaged, cant initiate the shift sequence required for the OD to engage during operational procedures.

Simply replacing this solenoid will fix this issue.

NOw, concerning the erratic shifts. this is isolated within the transmission control module. it seems to be malfunctioning. you will need to replace this module as well.

Truck has vibration,Rear wheels jacked off up off ground,transmission in park,wheels still turn,driveshaft doesnt.

trucks have a limited slip rear end to help in turning. if both back tires are in the air they will turn,the drive shaft wont turn because its in park. to check the vibration you might check the balance of your tires

Does the 2001 F-350 have a limited slip? If Yes, do the have certain issues?

If you have the FX4 option, it does. The FX4 models are basically a standard 4x4 with an Off Road package that includes a few extras like upgraded heavy duty Rancho shocks, limited-slip rear differential, added skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case, and two "FX4" decals on both back bed-sides instead of the standard "4x4".

I checked the Ford truck forums and found nothing out of the usual for limited-slip differentials as far as having problems. Older years yes, current year don't seem to have problems.
