4 wheel drive- Hi/Low

[Adamcr68]

It seems we have gone thru another N. VA winter not needing 4wheel drive.
I drove around my neighborhood in both High & Low, read somewhere here it was good to engage a couple times a year, if not using it.

That's always a great idea provided the traction is poor enough that it doesn't allow any driveline torsion.

If you feel it binding in the corners, that is a very bad thing to practice in 4 high and worse in 4 low.

Fortunately, where I live, I get plenty of opportunities to keep the cobwebs from forming on the 4WD system.

Totally agree! I drove straight in high & then put back in 2 wheel to turn around drove back in low.
When I first got my truck, had a little snow, driving in 4 Hi & did a tight u- turn.
I thought I had broke something when I heard it binding.
