some questions about the dana 60 and CAD

Is the 4WD system in these trucks supposed to include an open differential in the front? Ive got the 8800GVWR version and Im pretty sure theres no LSD in the front. Is it possible to add one?
looks like my CAD is screwed up somehow. Had a bang under there when shifting and assume it didnt engage 100% and popped out. if I engage the collar by hand and spin the wheel I can see the load move the collar up a little. Maybe its worn? The splines on the differential side axle stub are a little beat up from the collar too.
Ive seen some folks use a solenoid to drive the CAD fork, is there a kit somewhere?

I have seen a kit on ebay for like $160 before, and I think its the one you are talking about. Not to sure about it because I've never done it before myself just read it on here somewhere I think but I cant remember where?

For under two hundred bucks you can get the Posi-Lock 4x4 unit...works great I run them on my trucks, and have never had a problem with engaging 4wd.
