Default bought used 04 QC 4X4 3.7v6. how to tell if it has limited slip or not.

I just bought a 2004 dakota quad cab with the v6 and an auto tranny. im not sure if it has a limited slip, and was wondering if anyone here could tell me if theres a way to tell if it does or not. I know the axle ratio is 3:55 and the truck is also the SXT model.

Check the glove box for codes. I can't remember what the code is for it, but mine has the code and anti-spin on the label. I'll check when I get home.

question for jonnymagnum, with your clear turn signals do you also have clear bulbs? because I also have clear turn signals but amber color bulbs.

Check the glove box for the option sheet, but also check the rear axle, there may be a sticker wrapped around the tube or somewhere down there.

Carfuly jack the rear of the car up (use stands) with the hand-brake off but in gear or Park. Try to turn one of the wheels. If you can't or they try to move together then you have a Limited Slip diff. If you can turn one and the other turns the opposite direction then no LSD!

Good luck,

Paul

to: GOTTA97DAKOTA - I just put my stock clear bulbs back in. you can have a white light for a turnsignal you just cant have a blue light. I dont like the look of the amber color thats why i got clear turnsignals. soon im gonna buy super white bulbs for my turnsignals I just have fix some other stuff right now.

heres some pics of my turnsignals

from what i understand limited slip was an option that wasnt on that many daks, i think u had to have fully loaded truck to get it. since u have QC v6 which is not too common says its probably a pretty base model truck and it doesnt have LSD,

Im new hear so i could totally be wrong but its my 2 cents
