Default What rear end do I have?

Hello all. I just purchased a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Laramie w/ the Cummins and was wondering how I can tell which rear end I have, and if it is a limited slip differential? Are there RPO code listing anywhere that would be able to tell this?

I'm quite sure it's not a Dana 70, which would have a 10-bolt cover. It is most likely a Chrysler 11.5" (made by AAM), which has a 14-bolt cover. Use this webpage to help identify it: Randy's Ring & Pinion

The "anti-spin differential" is an option, so you may or may not have it on your truck.
