Is there a way to identify a 14bff gov-lock WITHOUT looking inside the diff?

jack your truck up in the rear, spin on of your tires as fast as you can, if the oppsite tire catches, you have a govlock, just grab it and give it a good hard spin, the other tire will jerk and spin the same way

Then again, you could always check this out: Lookee Here It's a 12 bolt, but they probably look similar.

Actually the 14FF carrier looks nothing like a 12 bolt does.

...unless the axle has a detroit or other locker.
socal, didn't you make the post about ID'ing the gov lock? weren't the pictures of each enough to help you decide?

I tried to help because a couple of weeks ago I asked the same question.
Without pulling the cover you can look for the RPO code. Also, every 14 bolt Gov Lock axle I've seen has (or had) a black rectangular stick on the cover (off center towards the driver side). Typically, the sticker is long gone but it leaves a distinctive spot on the cover.
Of course, without pulling the cover this is all still a guess since you never know if the carrier has been replaced or if the cover has been swapped.
