If you don't have the sticker and you still aren't sure , jack up the rear
end in the middle where both rear tires are off the ground .
put the truck in neutral and take off the emergencey brake .
squat down and start rotaing one of the tires in either direction .
If the opposite tire rotates in the same direction , then it's a sure grip
, if it rotates in the opposite direction , then it's open .
