Well, positraction and limited slip are the same thing (just different ways of saying it). The only options for the s-series suvs were either an open diff or the G80 RPO code which is the gov-loc, locking rear diff. Run a search for G80 and you should turn up quite a bit of information.

3.42 is the gear ratio (3.42 turns of the driveshaft for every one turn of the wheel to put it simply).
