some questions about LSD operation

Ok, here is the problem. My truck is equipped with a LSD or so the window sticker on my truck says so. However I don't think I have it. I've noticed that on ice or hardpacked snow, only the passanger tire will turn. I jacked up the rear end and spun the tires by hand and only one will spin at a time.

So, is this normal? Is this a differnet type of LSD? what gives. I'm new to the diesel and heavy duty world but I know that my 94 Dakota had a LSD and both tires turned all the time on ice or snow.
