[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 445011, member: 18877"] While I hear what you are saying, I've never seen this response as preachy. All level of knowledge comes to these forums and advice is what many are looking for. This response to me is directly in line with question that was asked. Many don't know that all wheel drive is not that same as four wheel drive. Based on people I see in the ditch following a snow storm, people with four wheel drive can get a false sense of security on slippery roads. Comments like that may save one person a tow truck bill. [B]Personally to answer the question[/B], I flip back and forth depending on what the road is like, and how many turns on it. I try not to use 4wd on dry roads. There is no max speed for 4wd, but as stated there usually isn't a reason for it at high speeds. Also, given that the front and rear wheels spin at the same speed, going high speed can be not great for the transfer case, especially on dry roads. I tend to limit it to around 40 mph, but usually much less. Unless the roads are covered in snow, then I'm 4wd the whole way. [/QUOTE]
