Jack up the which ever end is in question to get the tires off the ground. Put the transmission in neutral and spin one of the tires by hand. If the opposite tire spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential.

If the opposite tire spins in the opposite direction, you have an open rear end. just pull the automobile off to the side of the road with one rear tire in the grass or mud and the other tire still on the road. now MASH the gas and spin the tires if it's a open rear end then the tire in the grass or mud will spin only. if it's a limited slip it won't spin at all.

What is non limited slip differential?

The term "Non Limited Slip Differential" is Ford's way of telling you that your differential isn't special. A limited slip differential has clutches in it that stop a spinning wheel (the one that isn't getting traction) and send the power to the one that has traction, so the vehicle can get out of snow or mud. A non limited slip differential can only send power to one wheel at a time, which is the one with the least amount of rolling resistance (the one not getting traction).
