well, if you want to know if its a 1LE just look on your RPO sheet...........................if you have a 350 i'd put my money that you have posi
posi is also known as limited slip
it does exactly what it says
it doesnt let your rear wheels slip
when one wheel starts to slip (an imbalance of traction)
the other wheel will kick in through a series of clutches in the differential
an open rear has no clutches in it just spider gears
so when one wheel slips, theres nothing you can do about it..............hence the term one wheel peal
