The method we always used (not as much fun...) was to jack up the rear so
both tires are off the ground- and with the transmission in neutral, turn
one rear wheel while watching the other... if the other wheel turns in the
SAME direction, you have a LSD, but if it turns the OPPOSITE direction, you
don't.
