I am not sure what the axle is, but my guess would be it is a 3:50 limited slip.

Probably both, it doesn't take long to burn one up without the additive.

Keep in mind the track-lok and Equa-Lock aren't considered to be "beasts" in the differential world. It takes extra clutch packs and heavier springs to get them to truely "lock up" to the point of behaving like an Auburn LS or a Detroit Locker.

didn't know that the closest i have ever had to a limited slip was a welded rear in a sammy and a mini spool in a waggy never had a limited slip or rebuilt a rear end for that matter. I did install the minispool but that was simple
