Lift up the rear end, both tires in the air, put the transmission in neutral. Turn one tire one way, notice what the other tire does. If the other tire turns the opposite way it is an Open diff. If it turns the same direction as the one your turning then it is a LSD or a locker. Some diffs have tags on them. Or you can look in the glove box sticker.

I will move this to the 2nd Generation Dakota Sub-Forum.

Easiest way is to just look in the glove box...
