Both the Dak t-cases are listed as heavy-duty, IIRC. The NV244 allows
for slippage between the front and rear axles, but can also be locked to
work just like the NV233.

You only have a limited-slip diff in the rear (and it's only an option
from the factory, so if you bought off the lot you like don't have one).
There are no locking hubs on Dodge/Jeep 4WD systems since...early 90s?
The only disconnect is at the transfer case. In 2WD, your front
driveshaft spins - which is what caused Dakota's bent front driveshaft
to grenade his t-case in 2WD.
