How can I tell if I have the LSD on my 2000 XLS 4.0 ohv? I looked for the sticker in the driver's door jam, but it's not there anymore (the sticker that is).

i wish i had some lsd in my explorer
 






The rear axle and differential should both have codes stamped on them. Not sure how to read them, though.
 












Just lift the rear axle and turn one wheel. If the other wheel turns in the same direction, you've got a LSD_diff. If the wheel turns the opposite direction, your lsd is either bad or non existant.
 






Mine has a metal tag attached to one of the rear differential housing cover bolts identifying it as Limited Slip Differential.
 






orr the fun way...do a burnout and count the trie marks.... :D

I think its part of the VIN.. search the messege board for "VIN" and there are a few usefull threads on how to identify limited slip or not.


EDIT - I got bored watching grass grow so here one thread on decoding your VIN: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=422680&postcount=4


PM me your address- I have some :confused:

Uuuh, That's for decoding your DOOR STICKER, which he already said is gone. Axle code is not listed in the VIN. However, from the VIN, I can ascertain the axle code from the build info when I get some spare time at work. Any dealership can use OASIS to determine the build info from the VIN as well.

As for the LSD, send it to:

DEA Washington Division
Baltimore Field Office..... :P
