(Newbie) Best practices on driving in 4WD with the 44-45 locking transfer case during winter?
City driving with spots of ice or pack snow mixed with dry pavement make this technique unpractical. Several times last winter I had to put in 4WD just to get moving, then take it immediately out when I hit dry pave to keep the driveline from binding up.- Fred Sanford
