Differential Update

Well, I finally found the tag on my differential. According to the advice I got earlier,I have a limited slip diff. with 5.22 gears. Does that sound right? I read the numbers on the tag and it said 5L22. Somebody please help me clear up this mystery. Also, I am still not convinced I have limited slip, or if I do it isn't working anymore. Thanks for the help!

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 07-Oct-02 AT 12:28 PM (EST)]Jack up the truck under the rear axle have someone watch the drive shaft and count how many times it rotates when someone else spins the passenger side tire once clockwise. Also, if it is LS, both tires will spin in the same direction when you spin one.
