trac-loc

It won't hurt to use a gear lube that contains a friction modifier if your axle doesn't have a Tracloc. 99.9% of all the gear lubes you can find on store shelves will already have that additive however so it's not necessary to add more.

To tell if you have > How can I tell if I have one? I want to change the gear lubes. Will it

You also might be able to find a metal tag bolted to the diff with the specs for the diff and or oil needed.

Thanks, I gave the wheel a spin and the other wheel spins in the opposite direction. I did find a tag on the diff cover does not say anything about trac-loc, I love this news group....... :-}
