help anyone?????

 

Everybody here usually agrees that you can go as fast as you want in 4 hi but just engage it below 45 mph

 

You can drive as you normally would and it won't hurt anything...except your gas mileage!!

 

Not advisable to run in 4X drive on dry pavement, even questionable on rain wet pavement. Other than that, you should be OK at the speed you feel comforatable driving at.

 

I say never drive in 4x4 - hi or lo - unless to do otherwise is impossible or dangerous (patchy snow/ice might pursuade me to leave 4 hi engaged for a while). In other words, as a general rule, if it isn't absolutely necessary where you're at at any given moment, don't do it. 4WD requires some slip under the tires in order to operate properly. If that slip isn't there, torque will feed back into your driveline and tear things up.

The "Components" section talks a bit about feedback on non-slip surfaces.
