I bought my 2005 Limited in April & it's due for a front & rear diff fluid change. Is there any way I can tell if the rear is a Trac-Lok? Wouldn't want to screw it up by excluding the friction modifier if it is. Thanks everyone, jonb 2005 Limited, maybe with trak-loc??? |

You can get a build sheet of your KJ from Chrysler by either visiting the dealer and giving them the last 8 digits of your VIN# or going to Jeep.com..owner services and you can shoot them an e-mail requesting a build sheet...hope that helps... |

look at the rer diff if you have trac loc it will have 2 tags 1 is the axel ID tag the other is the trac loc tag and has the fluid type on it These 2 tags are metal and are held on by the diff cover bolts If you post up a good pic I can tell you what you got |

Thanks guys - here's what I got from Canadian Jeep customer assistance: "Regrettably, build sheets are not available for reprint. However, specific questions regarding original equipment of your vehicle can be researched. Basic information regarding your vehicle includes: 3.7 L V6 engine 4-Spd. Automatic Transmission Selec-Trac Full Time 4WD System Dana 30/186MM Front Axle 3.73 Axle Ratio Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle Our records indicate that your vehicle is equipped with Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle." However - there are no metal tags on the diff, so I maybe I'm back at square 1?? Should I believe their email & put in the friction modifier? - will it harm the diff if it's not a trac-lok?? I'm Confused |

On my rear diff, they is a sticker on the right side axle tube by the brakes. It tells you what you got. "3.73 OPEN" means you have 3.73 gears and an open diff. |

thats crazy!!!! DC sent me a build sheet with everything i would ever want to know about my KJ!! the last "anti-slip diff rear axle" would make me think yours has the trac-lok, because my build sheet said nothing like that!! |

I'm Confused The metal tag isnt on the diff. It's near the end of the axle, usually near the rear right tire side. |
