limited slip

How would I be able to tell if my 85 SR5 truck came with a limited slip from the factory. I really don't wanna tear it open to use in my 88 if there is not one. I know on GM there is a sticker in the glove box. Does toyota have anything like that? Thanks Bill

i dont think lsd was even an option back then. Unless someone did a swap then its prob open. Just jack up the rear end and spin one of the tires. If the other tires spins the opposite direction then its open.

No LSD or any kind of traction device in the USA from the factory.

When in doubt, do a burn out!!! Just put one tire in the gravel, and one on the road, and see if just the one spins. If it does, congratulations, you have an open diff
