    I'll have to check for the diff sticker.. But mine is an 06 Sport.. I thought it was open diff, but might have LSD? Are there any other ways to tell?

    You could also put your truck in some obvious LSD scenarios and try it out. Put one wheel on something really slippery, mud or really wet grass, something that you know would make the tire spin. Make sure the other tire is on firm ground. If LSD the tire in the mud should spin and you shouldn't go very far, in 2H of course. If LSD, the tire will spin but keeping on the throttle a bit will transfer power over to the tire on firm ground. Uneven ground works best for testing it out, especially if you can get the tire slipping lower, or higher, than the one with grip.

    Or ...

    You could check the sticker LOL.

    Just a tip for you folks with just standard 4X4s or 2WD PreRunners...the poor mans e-locker or whatever it's called does work (well hopefully most of the time)! It's saved me from getting stuck in a twisting kind of ditch.

    I was going through it and I believe it was my driver's side rear wheel started to slip, eventually that's all that was spinning and then I remembered the E-Brake trick! So I pushed down on the accelerator while slowly engaging the parking brake, enough for the wheel to stop spinning and I got out of that ditch just fine :D.
