trutrac is a limited slip diff made buy the same people that make the detroit locker, Tractech. Both are made for third gens.
Lockrites are also available for third gens as are most other locker/LSD options. The 7.5" and 8" toyota diffs have been in use for a long time and there are many manufacturer making diffs for them...

Put tranny in 2wd neutral, parking brake off, lift one rear wheel, turn lifted wheel with your hands. If it doesn't turn very far you have a "ratcheting" locker (ie detriot), and if it turns with no resistance you have nothing (ie SOL). Not everyone knows what a locker is or feels like when you're driving, and the previous owner may have been duped by the dealer or he was just a total idiot and didn't know what he was getting. For example, dealer mentions that you can get a locker in the 4runner, idiot buyer thinks "oh cool, this one has a locker" without verifying the existance of it.
