There is likely a sticker on the glove box door: "... anti-spin..." Sounds like you have LSD. Another test: put one rear wheel on slippery, one on dry. Goose it (DON'T punch it). If the truck moves, you have LSD.

It depends on conditions, but that's the way it's supposed to work. The slip has to be detected before the other wheel will receive the torque.

my truck always the two wheels move or spin together no matter what the ground situation is , so that means its an after market 100 % locker ?

A 100% locker would make clicking noises when you turn. Does it do that?

I dont think so unless i didnt notice coz of the exhaust sound , but the only thing i noticed is that the two wheels works together all the time in all situations , is there any way to know what locker is it without opening the diff cover ?
