I had mine out while I was waiting on a part for a few weeks, absolutely no difference in fuel economy, only difference was the smoke that poured from the rear on full throttle from a stand still
The 4wd system runs all power to the rear until it notices a slip, then engages the front, if you do notice a difference you probably have significant drag on the drive train somewhere.

The manual states that the transmission is dividex constantly 52% to the rear and 48% to the front, until you select 4Low where it is divided 50/50 F&R. I notice it big time when turning a corner, there's not necessarily any slip, but you hear the front tyres biting in. The steering is so direct compared to a rear wheel driven vehicle just like a subaru, pretty sure front wheels are driving all the time.
I recon swapping out the NV245 transfer case with a MP3022 SELEC-Trac II transfer case out of a KK would do the job for you. It has 2WD, 4WD Auto, 4WD Low & Neutral.
Getting the electronics to talk to each other would be the tricky bit.
