In 4x4 it is 50/50. It is gear-driven made by Borg-Warner, though I don't know the model #.

Ford hasn't used a gear driven transfer case since the late 70's...the old 205 model case. It was gear driven and had a cast iron case. Everything since then is made by Borg Warner or New Process and is an aluminium case and chain driven.

Correct. The chain turns the gearset for the front driveshaft only. The rear driveshaft is driven straight off the transmission output shaft.
