Do i need to put FRICTION MODIFIER in the rear end of a 1997 V6 with 2.73 gears? I seen an article were all rear ends at that time frame were traction lock which surpised me.

Only if it was a traction lock rear end. Look at the axle tag, bottom row, to the left. If it says 2L73, then yes. If it says 273, then no.
