Ignorance is bliss. I have no idea what my diff is or whether or not I have posi. I would rather just believe the previous owner did something to it. It's the best feeling in the world... ignorance.

Ok, not my thread, but I have a number off my rear end
WCZ-V1
796JD930
Now, I was told when I bought the car that it had "the big rear end", but it appears not.
Can someone cross check my findings?
