What type of Rear Differential?

I have a Chysler 8.25 rear end differential in 93 4x4 LE AT with 318. Can anyone tell me if I would have a limited slip or open diff?

Alternativly, you can just jack-up the rear end and rotate the tires. If they both rotate forward, its a limited slip. If one goes forward and the other reverse, you have a standard differential.

Thanks guys! Just wanted to know before I go and drain and refill the rear diff so that I can get the friction additive for limited slip when I purchase the gear oil.
