Hey Guys
Tried search on this topic but said it was too general.
I don't use my 4 high or low very often. How often should you switch to these settings just so they get some use. Kind of like turning on the A/C once in awhile in the winter just so it gets used.
Thanks

 

If you do not use the 4HI Lock and 4LO lock often I would suggest once a month.

On a loose dirt road or ONLY in a straight line if you are on pavement.

 

I drive around grassy fields and chew it up! I use hi and lo lock turning circles and backing up.
on snow packed roads I go to hi lock at decent speeds. all works well.
turning on snowy grass in lo it goes straight ahead!,especially with both diffs locked.
. its good to practice so yu know what to expect.


never lock on dry roads even if you think you are going straight. on the slightest turn there is binding that adds up as you go.
if the tires have really good grip it puts high stress on the entire drive train parts

 

Great info. Thanks guys
