It could be any number of things ... Check the glove box and it should have a data sheet that lists that info.
It'll likely be a 3.55 LSD, I think that's the most common .. it could be an open diff. though too, and if you're lucky, a 3.92

It could have:
3.21, 3.55, or 3.92 gears
open differential or Trac-Lock limited-slip
be a 8-1/4 or a 9-1/4 axle
The tag in the glove box will tell if it is limited slip.
Crawl under the rear of the truck and look under one of the bolt holes in the rear axle cover, and it will tell what gear ratio you have. Sometimes there is a tag wrapped around the rear axle that tells the ratio and if open or limited-slip. It is white with black writing: unless it is missing or someone painted it. It is located on the axle tube near either (usually left) brake backing plate.

being a 2000, I think its a 9 1/4 housing ... in fact I'm pretty sure it is.

Glove box says 3.55 gears. Nothing mentioned about LSD or Traction lock. Is there a code for that?

If it does not say "anti-spin" or "trac-loc" it is pretty much an open rear end.
