Here is what a Traction Lok looks like:
Correct me if I am wrong, but the key is the "S" spring - that makes it a Traction Lok.
In my experience I found a lot of the V6s did not have a Traction Lok unit. I would walk up to the rear end and spin one of the tires and asked my father which way the tire spun - so the majority of the time I never pulled the cover. However, like I mentioned this one was a Mountaineer V8 AWD (which is the top of the top on that line of Explorer) so I assumed it was Traction Lok.
If you are looking for one, I would really look for a V8 Explorer and Mountaineer. I would think that is your best bet.
To give you an idea also, this rear end ran me $123.00 with tax. I was charged $15 for the sway bar, so this is a steal if you can find one.
