when you open eth erear cover to drain, you will see the clutch on one side for LS. there is also a stick or tag on one of the pan bolts. i dont know the code, but that tells you prior to pulling the cover.

Call the dealer with the VIN and they'll tell you what you've got.

Welcome to the forum hi_voltage

Rich, on the tag on the diff there will be a bunch of number. There should be something like 3 55 or 3L55 if it's limted slip.
You can also look at the VIN tag on the door post. There is a box that's called "Axle". The codes are
18 — 3.08, non-limited slip
19 — 3.55, non-limited slip
26 — 3.73, non-limited slip
27 — 3.31, non-limited slip
H9 — 3.55, limited slip
B6 — 3.73, limited slip

I got a quick question so would that axle code apply to the 87-96 F-series trucks cause my 93 says 19 and i have been trying to figure it out im guessing it does so i have a 3.55 non limited slip so that means one tire spins only?
