RE: Hitch to Hitch
Posi and limited slip act the same so that could be why you think you have posi. The difference is that posi locks the two axles together delivering equal power to both wheels all the time. Limited slip delivers power to 1axle until that wheel slips, then it diverts part of the power to the other wheel making both tires spin if there isn't enough traction to hold them.

RE: Hitch to Hitch
OK, lets get this out there...
Limited Slip link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential
And "POSI"

a quote from the article...
"If your vehicle is sending power to only one side, it has what's known as an open rear end. This is a lower performance option. For increased traction when you're accelerating hard, you can install a limited-slip differential. (General Motors calls this a Posi or Positraction differential, while Ford calls it Traction-Lok.) A limited-slip sends power to both rear wheels, which improves performance substantially on the street and on a race track. But a limited-slip really is designed for street use, since it literally will slip so that it can send more power to one rear wheel when you're going around a corner."
I think you are thinking that your rear end may be a locker...
Locker link

I hope this atleast helps...
