If you have limited slip you need an oil with lsd additive in it or you need to add it yourself.

a limited slip differential will keep both tires moving even if one is of the tire is on loose ground

best way to see if you have one is to jack up the back and turn the wheel
if they both turn the same way you have it if they turn opposite you don't

Improper grammatical use of spell check is goin to amuse me for the rest of my days now. Don't be bustin a mans chops because he talks how he wants to , given the thread title could be slightly more informative ill agree, but i dont really belive that systematically given crap to people who need a bit of help on something because they like z better than s is a proper way to promote openess and deters undecided members from asking questions im sure we could help them with.

I just got some pennzoil diff case oil. It has the limited slip stuff right in it. It was rather reasonable on price too.

your best bet would be to call the jeep deler and give them you Vin number
they can tell you what you have

Im not sure what the picture is from but the second pic is a limeted slip
so if you dont have that or one like it your OK

are you in Dubai

jeeps shipped over seas tend to have different options that ones in the states

Also you could check the tag that's attached to the diff cover and post the numbers and I bet would could find the answer.
