Welcome to DF! Good looking truck.
The square block is the transfer case balancer, or was it a counterweight. Ether way I don't believe it does much. Later years they didn't install it. But It's best to keep it on just Incase it does do something.
Edit: It is a damper. 97-up didn't have them.

Since we're bringing up old-ish posts...
Come on... we've been over this! Lol. (Unless you mean, the Dakota's 1997 and after, in which case, they don't have them)
My 1996 had one of those damper (as the parts list calls it). It's listed as being on trucks with automatic transmissions.
I never reinstalled it on my replacement transfer case, and notice no difference.
So I have no idea what the actual purpose was... theory behind it. I can't see Chrysler putting something that size, and cost (replacements are $239 from the dealer) for no reason at all.

Sorry I have to agree. That truck has the "old man chariot" look going on pretty bad.
