I don't remember having oil filled diffs 20 years ago, a dry gear diff will tend to spin the power away through the inside wheel, oil filled diffs don't tend to.

Personally, after 2 years with gear diffs in my Durango, I don't want another ball diff, can't wait to get shot of the one in my 22, convinced it's the last bit stopping it from working as it should.
