Geez Frank, you are just asking for more confusion! :-) I think this is called
the Quadra Drive On-Demand 4wd system... I don't know the intimate details of
it but I suspect they have simply put something akin to a limited slip device on
the center differential in the transfer case. I'm sure it's much more
complicated than that but it will effectively boil down to something like that.
This would allow the transfer case to "sense" slippage by the rear axle and in
turn provide more and more power to the front axle.
Just remember, you asked! ;-)
Tom

What's with these guys that say they've got this 4wd part-time option?
The Grand Cherokees have this part-time 4wd system that only engages the
front wheels when then backs start to spin. My buddy has one.
He doesn't really like it cause there is no 2wd option so he can't spin the
backs for fun when he wants. He's jealous of my Dak, as he should be.
hehehe
