Default Differential Question

I recently purchased a used2001 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2 lt. I'm curious if Dodge offered, as an option, a "limited slip typedifferential" or a "posi-traction" type rear-end. I'm asking because my truck feels like it has that feature. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

Look in your Glove box, there usually is a sticker in there that has all the options on your truck. They call it Anti Spin Differential. That is the same as LSD.

you can also look on the rear axle tube, drivers side near wheel there is a label showing gear ratio and open vs locked. someone else on this forum taught me that just last week.
