I have a V6 third member that has 5.29 that went out on my truck. And after pulling it out an looking around i couldn't find the exposed spider gears after completely rotating the ring gear around. So I'm not sure if it has a limited slip or a locker or what. I have never noticed a locker in the rear when i had it on, only the front which has a Detroit. If anyone could identify what it is or if its open or not, I'd really appreciate it.

looks like a normal v6 third to me

Then why can't i find a part where the spider gears are exposed? There completely covered all around?

they are inside the carrier. it is a 4 pinion and the cross pin has 4 pins that have 4 spiders on them.

But you can normally see the exposed spider gears and be able to weld them if you wanted?

On 4cylinder differentials, yes - they are exposed.
On 6cylinder differentials, no - they are not exposed.

Okay thanks!
