Cruising to Work in 4 Low

Quick question for the group - apparently while my 3 year old was helping me clean out the truck (a 2007 Screw 4x4) he turned the dial to 4 Low without me knowing. I only came to realize this after I got to work this morning and noticed the orange 4x4 light on and the dial pointed toward 4 Low. What issues, if any, might I expect after cruising to work (about 20 miles on a nice sunny dry day) like this?

Was it actually *IN* 4 Low? I don't see how you couldn't have noticed it by the way it was driving.

Believe me, if it was actually in 4 low, you would have known immediately. Top speed of the vehicle would have been around 25mph. More likely, because procedure was not met (stopped, in neutral, foot on brake) to go into 4lo, it never went there.

I thought that I would notice a difference as well, especially since it was supposedly in 4 Lo.
The truck ran like normal and I definitely was going over 25 mph.
I am thinking it was never actually in 4 Lo.
I am headed out for lunch and will see if there is any update.
Thanks for the replies.

Actually, in overdrive you could theoretically get 4lo up to about 80 mph, that would be redline for the engine.

I know with mine, it shifts out of 1st at about 1-2mph and out of second by 5mph, with fairly high rpms. Don't think I would ever want to see what it is like in OD, 1 0r 2 .
