Is it a LS with wore out fluids that have lost all of their friction modifiers or a true open diff? Unless it has a tag you got to open it up.

When I got my Ranger I thought I had an open diff. At 70K miles the friction plates were slipping and it acted like a open diff. I researched the axle code and found I had a LS axle. I serviced it adding the friction modifier and I am chirping the tires going through corners. The last set of tires the passenger side was showing cords and the driver side could have gone another 15K miles. But those Goodyear were crappy tires to begin with. Horrible in wet weather. It was the passenger side that did all of the tire slipping.
