Unless you're a Centaur, I reckon it's Human! ;-)

thanks guys i thought so! but when i went to the shop to buy the gears the guy there told me by the bolt patters on the back of the gears
it looked to be a 7.5 and i was like WHAT! this is a 5L not a v6
and he said by the book it says 7.5

The 7.5" rear's differential housing/cover has straight top and bottom rails and curved side rails. The 8.8" rear's differential housing/cover has straight top, bottom, and side rails.

Someone may have swapped your rear while you were sleeping . ..

Did you buy the car new or used?
