Just trying to buy some gear oil so I can change the fluid in the front and rear end. How can I tell if its limited slip in the front and rear. It's telling me I need LSD GL-5 80w-90 if I do have LSD. Should I assume that because its an LE their LSD?

It's easy to check. Jack the truck so both wheels are off the ground. Puttranny in neutral. Turn one rear wheel by hand. If the other rear wheelturns the same direction, you have LSD, if the other direction, no LSD.
