Lightbulb V6 Basic Help?? Im new to cars!!

I have a '94 V6 mustang and was wondering if the 94 gt's come with "TrakLoc's" which im not sure if thats what its called. In other words, only one wheel spins (my right rear wheel) and was wondering if i could go to the local junk yard and take off a rear end from a gt mustang, switch it with my current rear end, and get the two wheels spinning instead of just my one. Thanks!!

Welcome!
Yes, to clarify- Your working with a 7.5 rear end and differential, so the axle and differential would have to be swapped. Both.

To see if its a locker there will be a tag on the diff cover.

It will read something like.

3L73 88 SESQ

That means its 3.73 gears, a T-Lok and a 8.8"
The L between 3_73 means its a T-Lok.

Here is a pic to help too.


This tag would read " 3L73 75 S390A "
