If there in decent shape, that's a fair price IMO.

As to check if its open, you'll have to pull the diff cover.

The carrier unbolts into two pieces and there are recesses in them for the cross pins that hold the spider gears. The open carrier has 4 recesses, the gov-lok has 3.

sounds like a normal price to me. friend of mine just paid 300 for a good set with 4.11s in them

get the rear axle off the ground and spin one tire. If it is open the other tire won't turn.

The gov-lok (the only limited slip type diff available for a FF14 bolt) will act just like an open diff until the wheelspeed differential is 100 RPM.

Your method works for clutch type posi's and lockers, but not this one. You need to pull the cover to know for sure.

I paid 250 for a 10b/14bff with 4.10s gov lock rear. I think it was a good deal

Sounds good to me... if I remember correctly I paid like $450 for a 14ff/10b with 4.10's with the rollers. They were in good shape out of a running suburban.

a 10 bolt will have ears that stick off from the bottom of the diff housing, you can see one in the pic.

a d44 will have that cast into in the lower right of the housing on the angled part.
