I bought a 8.25 axle and noticed that when i hold the wheel i can't turn the other one could this mean they are welded or are there lockers that act like this.i pulled the plug on the diff and can read something that says trac on it maybe hard to see.Any ideas hate to pull the diff cover...the seller never mentioned anything about a locker....

My 99 still has the factory label stuck to the axle tube near the passenger tire that states "open".

Not really, a locker is a locker & a LSD is different. A LSD may NOT lock up just spinning the tires. If it is worn a bit, prolly not..

By feel, but I been doing it for a few years, 25 or so. You could drop rear drive shaft if your unsure, or put it in the big N, The drums will have a big arse ridge on them so slididing them on & off will be a pain unless you get rid of the ridge.
