Put the car in neutral. CHOCK THE FRONT WHEELS. Jack up the back end. Turn one rear wheel by hand. If the other wheel turns in the same direction its posi. If they turn in opposite directions its not.

Alternatively, don't bother. It's posi. :)

Well, it's a posi but is it fried??

For that you need to lock one side and measure torque to turn other wheel.

If you can lay down two strips of burnt rubber it is probably OK. :crazy:
