It could be Limited Slip, look at the Vehicle id card attached to the inside of the hood on the driverside, and it will tell you all the info, limited slip, gear ratio, rear axle, ect.

Oh to answer the second part of your question they are decently fast, and their quickness varies depending on what the trucks configuation is. I have the 4x4, extended cab, auto, with 3.9 gear ratio, and it is quick.
The fastest stock configuration would certainly be a reg cab, shortbed, 2wd, 5-speed, with 3.9 gear ratio, being that it is about 550 lbs lighter than my truck.
so yes they are pretty quick for a 10 plus year old truck, and the 318 is a great engine.

So what is your truck a 4x4 or a 2wd?

Yes its 2wd and it is the short bed and reg cab im not sure of the gear ratio but it is automatic tranny, cant you buy shift kits for automatics so the shift better? Yea im not sure if its possi tho cause i cant check because i dont have the truck yet my dads friend is holding it for me.

That will be a nice quick truck especially if it has the lower gears in it.

I am not sure if they make any shift kits for it, but the auto trans in mine shifts pretty good and it revs out decently.
