Look at the axle code usually on the front passenger side. Will read cd,cda or something similar. Then check the code against the table listed on the homepage. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

The vin may not be what is in it. Your best bet will be to turn one of the the axles to see if its a peg leg, the axles turn in opposite directions, a posi, axles turn the same direction but can be forced to turn opposite when put in a bind or welded, turn the same no matter what you do. As far as gear, count the rotations of the pinion compared to the axle. If you get 4 to 1 with a posi its a 4.11 or 4.10. A peg will be different, get your count and double it.
