Weird but is it true?
Now i was out 2 days ago doin burnouts in an old feild and when i was doin it i only saw one tire track, so i figgured i didnt have LSD. Well today i went again and i saw 2 tracks, one was slightly less deep than the other though. Whats this mean, did the LSD just kick in out of no where? Also i saw a mudd hole and i went through it, it turned out to be much deeper than i though and scraped my undercarrage (no damage done) but one rear tire was completly in the air but i still got through? SO does this mean Limited Slip differential or not, im confussed as i get right now.

you probably have a LS but it sounds like it needs some work. sounds like its worn out. you can have those rebuilt with new clutches.

You could jack up the rear end and spin the tire if they both spin in the same direction = LSD if they spin opposite this = Open carrier.

I have an open carrier in mine and even when i brake stand in the street i can still get both sides spinning. I know i have an open carrier from when i changed my diff fluid.

Two tracks just mean that both tire had nearly equal traction. I can do a 2 wheel burn out with my OPEN rearend, on pavement, if I modulate the torque with my E-brake. See, if you give a little Resistance to both wheel both wheel get power, even in a open dif, not as good as a locker, but similar to an LSD.
