I have a 99 Jeep Wrangler with stock Dana 44 rear, is that an open differential or limited slip?

Also, the auto trans is a stock TF999 with 2.75 gear ratio in 1st gear. The NP231 transfer case has a 2.72 ratio in 4WD Low. Does this mean that, in 4WD Low, 1st gear,I have a 7.48? (2.75 x 2.72 = 7.48) ?

I am not 100% sure but I think the 44's in TJs do have a limited slip in them. A buddy of mine bought one a couple years ago and he got the 44 with the limited slip as a package that's why I would say that they do have a limited slip. You can check if you jack up one side of the back while leaving the other tire on the ground and see if you can spin the one that is jacked up, if it spins then I think your diff is open. My dad's cherokee has a limited slip in the rear and when I did this I couldn't spin the tire I jacked up.[addsig]
