Default 4x4 Question

What is the top speed that you can drive using your 4x4 in 4x4 lock ?

My transfer case selector reads 2wd, 4wd lock and 4wd low. I have looked info for this but the factory manual does not show it and i have been unlucky on google!

Thanks!!!!

4x4 Hi - Not sure if there is a Max speed, but you can put it into 4x4 Hi on the fly up to 55 mph. Now if you need 4x4 at 55 mph you got more issues than needing 4x4 lol.
You should not really use 4x4 on dry pavement.

4x4 Low - I don't think it will even go 20 MPH - not sure of the Max

That's funny, no i'm just getting ready for winter driving!! Believe it or not we get our fair share of ice and snow here in North Texas. I used it last year but was for brief moments. I just needed to know the max speed if any!!

Thanks for the info!!!
