What the title says w/out lighting up the tires? I do know I have a 3.73 limited slip!

look on the ID tag on the diff hanging off one of the pumpkin cover bolts. For an open diff it should say 3.73. For a posi it should say 3L73



PS-if it says 3L73 i will trade ya :thumbsup:

Worst case, just toss a jack under the rear diff and see if you and a buddy encounter any resistance trying to turn the tires in opposite directions.

Gonna be pretty bummed if it's not, 1 wheel burn outs could quite possibly be the lamest thing on earth!!!

With the trans in neutral an open might just spin the driveshaft and spin in the same direction too if the trans spins easily, like a manual.
