Default G44 RPO code

I have a 1989 with the G44 and G92 code for the 3.07 rear axle ratio. The car is an automatic. Do I have the D36 or the D44 rear differential? How do I tell which rear end I have? Is there a RPO code for the rear differential? Not planning to change anything, just wondering.


Thanks

Except for the 1984 models, which were all D36

This also assumes a previous owner hasn't made a rear end swap.

Best way to tell is to crawl under there and look.

You can look up pics of D36 and D44 on the net. You will know right way which you have.
