How can I determine if I have a LSD on a 1992 GQ Patrol (actually a Ford Maverick). Thanks in advance.

Couple of methods:
1. Put one wheel on grass, and the other on tar, drop the clutch, if the wheel on grass continues to spin, its not lsd
2. Jack up rear axle, so both wheels are off the ground, rotate one wheel by hand, if the other wheel rotates in the same direction, its lsd, if its the opposite direction, open diff

simpler method is to just jack one rear wheel up and if you can spin it freely, there is either no lsd or a very worn one. In any case, all GQ's/Mavs have lsd and a tough one at that - should be good for 200K kms...
