With both rear wheels off the ground, when I turn one (either one) the other doesnt turn. I think if they both turn the same direction it's a lsd, if they turn in opposite directions it's an open diff.
If the other doesn't turn, does this indicate a stuffed lsd?

not necessarily. the way to check ifm it is lsd is correct, but to test one you need to consult the book there is a certain torque you have to apply with a torque wrench. Or jack up one rear wheel and start the engine and see if it drives off the jack. on

Is the tail shaft turning? Put it in gear (or park) and then try turning one wheel. If not LSD the other will turn in the opposite direction. If good LSD you will not be able to turn it. An LSD with U/S clutch will behave like a open diff.
The real test

Hi guys.
I wanted to check what the ratio is, so I had it jacked up.
I wasnt sure if it was a slipper or not, so I had both wheels jacked up.
Turning the left wheel, the tailshaft turned 23 turns compared to the wheel which turned 13 turns. This equals
