Ran across a strange situation a week ago or so.
Driving near the lake, we had "lake-effect snow" and the snow was blowing and the roads were covered with just around an inch of snow but they were also very icy.
I engaged the 4WD and then as I drove around a mile north of the lake, the roads were clear and dry.
I disengaged it at this point.
Just wondering what you guys do in various situations.
For example, what if I ran across another area that was covered and icy and then dry again.
Do you continuously go from 4WD to 2WD?
What if you see a bit of dark ice or whatever and you don't want to be in 2WD when you are on it but it is dry for the most part.
Just don't want to damage the transmission driving on dry pavement when I shouldn't, in 4WD.
Thanks
