look under the hood there should be a sticker that tells you some info about your truck like gear ratio and if it has an lsd. Also you can get a build sheet from the dealership. But if only one tire doesn't spin it probably doesn't have an lsd...not all trucks even sports and such came with lsds

You should also have a sticker in the glove box. for example, mine says 4.10 anti-spin. Also, another way to check, guys on here have done it, is to put one tire in the dirt and one on tar. Spin the tirs and see if you get a mark on the tar. another way to check (if not stickers) is to jack the rear of the truck up, and spin one tire. If you have posi one tire will spin one way and the other will spin the other...or it might be both same direction....now im confused, ill check on that and get back to ya.

DJCS - Dana M44/216MM Front Axle
DMDP - 3.55 Axle Ratio
DRBP - Corporate 9.25 LD Rear Axle
DSA - Anti-Spin Differential Rear Axle


this is part of my build sheet. if it doesn't have the dsa after drbp...then it doesn't have a limited slip rear axle

I love the anti-spin rear end in my parents new hemi. It just makes things all that more interesting.[sm=gears.gif]
