I know you can tell from the top but can you tell from the bottom too.

Do u have a iPhone? Lol

Slip it up there and start taking pics/video. Ip4 helps as it has the light on it.

Get a pic of the *** end of it. I'll then tell you right away.

BTW, judging by the looks of the aluminum, its the 06+ diff

that is an 04-05 diff. This is why...



See where the red arrows are pointing to? The 06+ has two straight Reinforcements. The 04-05 diff, like the one pictured, has none

See, here are both diffs. The top is an 06+, the bottom is the 04-05. Look at the two lines on the 06+ diff right above the sway bar. Now look at the o4-05 diff on the bottom, right above the sway bar, no lines.
