4WD on the asphalt???

It recommends 10 miles a month. Should I engage for all 10 miles the first time. Or should I go like 5 and 5 tomorrow?

 

Look Larry , I don't wanna do this again , I know you are a homophobe and because of your religious convictions need to believe that sexual preference is a choice and not genetically programmed , I would rather live in reality , thanks

 

Don't forget the earth is 6000 years old too!

 

here we go again


And also I engage my 4x4 in pavement all the time and do hard turns. Then when I get bored I turn on my locker and really go to town on it...

 

It is a choice.

 

Take it off road, you bought 4x4 for what reason?

Do it while parallel parking on asphalt.

 

many say OH NO! NO 4WD ON PAVEMENT! then go wheel in granite. I try not to turn on pavement, or granite while in 4x4, but you know what, I have and it still works. it doesn't feel good, but it works.

if we all own trucks that will destroy themselves before dragging a tire, we bought really crappy trucks

 

Just engage it when you get a chance on a straight stretch , don't get too worried about the 10 mile thing , just give it some exercise

Sorry your thread got sideways

 

now name calling

You don't know where/how I form my opinions and perspectives. And my spirtual convictions may not be religious...or have anything to do with those opinions.

I forgot...your arrogance here rules all.

 

Lol...thanks for the info

 

No your not..

 

On my winter set of tires I had to come out of 4wd at times. They were binding turning into parking stalls and side streets in Washington IN THE SNOW. That was a nasty pop when they finally unwound. I think straight line driving with caution would dofine, as others said. Find some gravel road n explore , more fun

"honey, I'm going to do some truck maintenance!!!"

 

I dont understand these threads. I drive in 4WD exclusively all winter long, asphalt, rain, black ice, gravel roads, winding and straight alike. I don't believe toyota intended for 4wd to only go in a straight line. Used it this weekend on some backroads to have the traction I needed for high speeds. That was nothing but winding gravel. If you turn the wheel and feel it bond a bit, brake, and straighten out til it doesnt bind. You lose some turning radius, but I dont think you can destroy a transfer case from normal driving in 4wd.

 

dry asphault in 4wd, turning will make the case explode

 

I have 35,000 miles on my truck....no explosions to report. In fact when I changed the fluid in the transfer case, there was hardly any shavings at all. I can guarantee I have turned on dry asphalt countless times.

 

Granted, I can't turn SHARP in 4wd, but to say you can't turn....thats just nonsense. Or maybe I have some mythical differential that's impervious to 'dry turning'

 

Shavings aren't a measure, something more catastrophic.

 

After 30000 miles, you cam expect some shavings, and I'm talking very fine particles. Nothing substantial at all

 

Oops, I see I typed are, when I meant "aren't". You won't create more shavings by turning in 4wd.
