Look on the front of the drivers side axle tube. There should be six numbers a "space" then a letter or number. Call a gear shop "Randy's Ring and Pinion" 1-800-292-1031. They can tell you what size axle and year it is.

As far as what is inside of it, there should have been a tag on the inspection cover with numbers and letters. If not you might have to open it up. I would say it probably has an open carrier unless some 4Xer put some sort or clutched locker or locker in it.
