Just jack up the back of the truck. If you turn one tire forward and the other tire does the same, you have a limited slip. If it goes in the opposite direction, you have an open differential.

Ummm...Ummmm... I hope not..
LSD and regular diffs will BOTH spin like that without an input direction and load.
This is not a valid test.
Take a look for a tag on one of the bolts on your diff's cover if you didn't keep the window sticker..
If there's still a doubt, stop by any DCX dealer and have them scan your VIN and pull up the specs.

Depending where live you might have luck at a salvage yard and just get a complete rear end. If you go the after market rout I would avoid a locker if you drive much on the street, but then again if it is an off road vehicle the added benefit of a locker may be worth the added tire wear. A good after market diff to look at is Power Trax (I think that’s the one) this is almost a locker but is supposed to be street friendly, but I don't have any personal experience with one just what I've read and heard. I wanted to say that Arrowman but have never tested it on my truck. That sound more like a spool than an LSD, even most locker require input to spin the wheel in the same direction.
