true 4x4 is where you have a transfer case and have the ability to put it into mechanical 4wd by pulling a lever or turning a ****. true 4x4 is where there is a fixed amount of power going to the front wheels and a fixed amount going to the rear wheels. (usually 50/50) you know that you have true 4x4 if you are not sposed to drive it on dry roads and for 99% of driving, you keep it in 2wd.
awd however is a different animal... most of the time it is computer controled and is on all the time (think subaru,etc) with this setup, all 4 wheels are always being driven (sometimes there is a front or rear wheel bias) and with awd, you have the ability move the power around, for instance in perfect conditions it might be split 95/5 front to rear and has the ability to move to say 50/50 from computer calculations...
on your 4x4 switch on your dash, do you have it say 2wd 4x4 hi 4x4 lo or awd 4x4 hi 4x4 lo...
also if you want to see ify ou ahve a lsd, check your glove box, which should have all the information (rear axle ratio, lsd option or not, etc)

So you're saying although I may have not a LSD I should still have all 4 wheels spinning?
I looked in the glove box and for rear axle it says corporate 9? I did not see anything saying LSD or anything even saying it had a open rear end(not sure if there is a technical name for it).
