Howdy. If you have an open diff, you don't have a true offroad package. They all had an elocker in them.

To tell what diff you have, count the cover bolts.
12 bolts is m226
8 bolts is c200

As far as torque specs, here's the pages from the factory service manual:

C200


M226


The n-m (kg-m, ft lb)

Oh. Ignore the diff cover torque. Hand right + 1/4 turn unless you wanna snap bolts.
