its a 8.8" rear. Only way it isnt if he changed the whole axle. and someone that doesnt change even their oil often probably wouldnt change the whole axle. Do you know if he redid the front end gears also? because if he CHANGED the gears in the rear he would have to in the front to make sure they match up. if he just redid the rear that means its still stock gears. go out to your truck and get the axle code on the sticker in the door jam and tell the number.

use limited slip lube if limited slip rear.
use regular lube if not limited slip.
make sure it is the correct weight.
i thought i was being a help.
