Search in the FAQ section. There's awesome write-ups in there on all of your topics.

Sounds like a locker to me...

Do the tires chirp? Is it lifted?

What engine do you have, most likely a 4.0 six cylinder. Bottom dollar you are running an NP 231 transfer case, Dana 30 front axle and Dana 35 rear. There should be (or could be, after all these years) a tag on the axle itself, usually on an upper-left diff cover bolt. Take some degreaser to it and try and read the tag, tells you a bunch about the axle, if it's still there.
