Driving in 4wd High all the time.

Wearing tires out is hardly equivalent to destroying the truck.

Unless the truck is such a heap that it wouldn't be worth it to replace the worn out tires.

 

This ^ Look at all the guys here that don't know the difference between the oil drain plug and the transmission drain plug.

 

newfies don't know how to ride sleds, maybe dog sleds

 

Too far.

 

potato, French fry

 

Not really, no. Not even close. You went and actually launched an unprovoked and completely unnecessary attack.

 

LOL why cause I said newfies don't know how to ride sleds? or the dog sled part? please enlighten me.

 

Amazing, I think it has been mentioned here only one time. How hard is it to turn the little knob from 4H to 4L, & back?. It's not like you need to get out & lock & unlock the front hubs every time the conditions change. Just switch back & forth as needed. It will also keep the shifting actuators working properly. Just my opinion.

 

Sorry, I meant back & forth 2h to 4h.

 

To the OP...I'm up in Saskatchewan, so not far from you and similar conditions. Mine is in and out of 4Hi as necessary. On our, non-salted, snow covered roads, almost always 4Hi. When I hit parking lots where sharp turns will be required I switch it to 2Hi. Did the same with my old Gen1, never an issue. IMO, 4wd is like parking brakes....use it or lose it. I would say, this time of year, I'm in 4Hi 70% of the time.
Cheers, Jeff

 

Owners manual recommends 10 miles a month in 4WD to keep the front drive components lubricated. I do all 120 miles a year in December.

 

You do realize you likely work with a bunch of newfies right? lul 'Berta.

 

see you can banter, I don't know what the other guys problem was lol
