Does the AWD transfer case have a neutral position? If so, stick
it in neutral, jack the rear end up and turn one of the tires. If
both tires go in the same direction, you have the limited slip, if
they go in opposite directions, its open.

Ray beat me to the punch on this one, but I've also noticed that
most of the gear lubes I come across on the shelf already have the
friction modifier in them. So if you haven't purchased the lube
yet, then you can just purchase one with the modifier already in
it. Check your owner's manual for the recommended viscocity,
service grade, etc. It might also say something about the friction
modifier, although my guess is that it probably just lists a
Mopar part number for the fluid they want you to buy.
