- '85 CJ-7, 258/4.2L 6cyl. Bought new in 1985. Full cage, Warn 8274 winch, Ford 9" rear, front/rear Detroit Lockers w/4:88 R&P. T-5 tranny and 4:1 t'case. 33X12.50-15 BFG/AT, MSD ign, on board air---
Jack up each end till both wheels clear the ground.
Lock hubs on the front.
Spin a wheel by hand-if the other side wheel turns the same direction-You have a LSD. If the wheel rotates the opposite-it's 'open'.
If your drive line is stock-Bet no LSD in front. May have a trac-lok in back.
Far better clutch-type LSD's out there than the TL.

Rock it back and forth-Sometimes this will engage the 'dogs' on a real locking diff.
Also-try the other wheel.
