If you look on the driver side door jam, you will see a sticker, check under AX for the code and then look here

I see you have an auto, so you would have 3.27 and 5 speed is 2.73.
 
you can crawl under your vehicle, and at the rear axle cover there will be a tag attached by a bolt.

the tag will tell you what you have or had orig. ex. 3L08 = 3:08 trac lok
3L27 = 3:27 trac lok <--- most likely what you have. 3L55 =3:55.
if there is no L in between the number then you have an open (non locking) diff. also you can look at the label on the driver door jam that has the vin on it. at the bottom there is a code under AX .
tell me what the code is and i can tell you what you axle is/was.

All '90 SC's & XR-7's got Trac-Locs as standard equipment. So unless some IDIOT put a "peg-leg" in there, it's still a Trac-Loc.

rear gear axle code of 9

94 SC with rear axle code 9, cant find it anywhere. No tag on pumpkin either! Anyone seen this before or know what the 9 is?
