I agree, on this one. If I'm on the interstate, below the rated speed, I will engage 4 hi for 5 - 10 mi.
In NO way would I ever drive in/ arround town with 4 engaged, or for long periods on pavement...... I use my truck for mostly getting fire wood in places I don't want to get stuck.... I Have done this on occasion, about every 3-4 mo when I haven't been off roading in a while.
I have worked on USAF C-130s for 22 years as an allison/ rolls-royce engine mech. One thing I have learned is that if it isn't used it breaks. I understand the whole bind/ wrap/ pinch..... I like to make sure that its a nice straight stretch.
And just to piggyback on the shatted front diff post, I will attach a rope/ tow strap to the
rear receiver (with my SO seated with it in 4 low and foot off of the brake and maybe slight throttle) when Im cutting a tree in a tight area, to ensure it falls in the right direction!
My .02 on this one........
