If your worried about Fluid, then check under the Hood first. Stand over the Battery from the Drivers Fender, and look for a yellow handle to your right, and down, under the Brake Resivore, at the rear of the engine {that's the Tranny Dipstick}. Do this on a level area.
Frankly, there is not much chance of your Rear Differential being anywhere near empty, unless the lower plug came out {yup, there's 2}.

Check in your main fusebox while your up there. It's forward of the Shock Tower. If the fuse is IN for FWD {and a good fuse}, then your forcing the rear to shutdown. This is what's known as the "Limp Home" mode. If someone else put the fuse in, then they didn't tell you something.
