My buddy is looking to buy a locker, but we want to make sure which one it is first. Is it the SF? 14 bolt pics The FF is 10.5 and the SF is 9.5, right?

That is a sf. For future reference though, pulling the cover is not the best way to tell. Next time, save yourself the trouble and just look at the hub. If the hub has 8 bolts in a circular pattern around it, its a ff, if not, its a sf. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

He needed to change the fluid in it anyway, but thanks for the info for future id. I didn't watch him drain it to see if there was water in it, but it had been raining all day.
He wants to get a Detroit Locker. Someone at a 4 wheel parts store told him he would also need new bearings etc. I haven't ever heard anything about that. Can't you just stick it in without replacing anything else generally?

If he goes with a Tractech Loc-Rite(a "drop in" locker), then he just install it without doing the bearings. If he gets a Detorit Locker, then it is best to replace the carrier bearings at the same time.
*EDIT* With the Detroit, you'll also have to set-up the ring and pinion again...
