Have your dealer check again. According to the 2000 truck manual, it is an option on the XL, XLT, and Lariat packages. There is no mechanical reason why a limited slip cannot work with a manual tranny.

Upon doing some checking on the fordfleet.com site where you can "build" your own truck, the limited slip diff is only an option with the 4.3 rear end with a 5 speed V10. Go figure...

A 3.73 limited-slip axle is available with the V10/5-spd, if you size up to the F350SRW.

....the FORD limited-slip is pretty worthless. If I had to do over, I would order an "open" rear end and get either a detroit or gearless locker, or maybe one of those new lockrights and have it installed.
