What differential do I have?
I know it sounds like a dumb question but the Haynes manual is pretty vague. I have a 99 SE 4x4. I want to change the fluid in both differentials and need to know which ones I have to know which kind of oil to use. Not sure if they're limited slip or not. Any help is appreciated.

the front will be the dana 30, and the rear is either a dana 35 or chrysler 8.25. the 8.25 has a flat bottom, whereas the dana 35 is more rounded. HTH!

Based on the posted pictures, I thought I was fortunate enough to have an C8.25! It had the rubber plug and I didn't see the hump. Upon closer inspection, my heart sunk when I saw the Dana diamond and a "35C" stamped into the side. Damn... 
My question is: Does the "C" in the "35C" stand for anything? Like, are there c-clips holding the axles on? I'm just curious. It's not like I'm going to drop a locker into this one. I'll want to upgrade to the C8.25 first. Maybe by then, OX will have their C8.25 product in production, too.
