It is not likely it has trac-loc, there would be a tag at the full hole.captaind said:
Also most good rear end lubes come with the friction modifier so read the label.

I'm using straight 80w90.
I don't see anything on the diff cover except the rubber plug.
But, I guess I would still like to be 100% that is has no trac-loc (dealer doesn't
even know).
In the event I never find out for sure, can I go wrong adding a friction modifier "just in case" ??
Thanks

Friction modifier will not hurt, that why it's added to most diff lubes.captaind said:

Look in the glove box if it has a locking diff there will be a sticker in the glove box.

Is there a paper tag wrapped around the axle tube behind the right rear tire?

My 99' D35 had a traclok and there was no tags,labels or anything to indicate it was there other than I got a build sheet from the dealer by the VIN# so I knew it had one that way.If you can't get a build sheet then pull the cover off and look for yourself.A traclok will only have one opening in its side and open carrier will have an opening on 2 sides.

darn ... i've already pulled it and rtv'd it back up. just ready to fill. i don't know that much about rear ends, so i don't recall whether it had one or two openings.
i'll swing by the dealer and hit them up for a build sheet.
thanks everyone.

Just drop them an email through that form and they will respond with the build sheet.

Here is another way to tell. Jack up both rear tires off the ground. Put the gearshift selector in neutral. Turn one of the rear tires by hand. If the other rear tire turns in the opposite direction, you have an open differential. If the other tire turns the same direction, you have a limited slip or locking differential.
