With the rear of the truck jacked up and the transmission in gear or in
park if auto and you rotate a tire and the tire on the opposite rotates
in the opposite direction then you DO NOT have a limited spin diff. It
is rotating in the opposite direction because the carrier is walking
around the spider gears. With a limited slip this action would be
locked out and you would not be able to rotate the wheels if the
tranmission was in gear.
