RE: when im in 4x4 ?
there is honestly no condition on a road ice/snow/rain/whatever that warrants the use of 4x4. If you are an idiot and don't know how to drive it comes in handy. but if you realise that you are in adverse conditions so driving at 70 mph would be a bad idea you will be fine.

but if youre like me why slow down when you dont need to, when the city was shut down (due to icing) i still got on the highways, didnt go past 70, stayed around 65, no traffic so wasnt concerned about braking. Dont want to be one of those truck drivers i made fun of when id blow past them in my car.
"realise" = realize
ought to put spellcheck on this moforum lol

This is due to the front wheels and back wheels turning at slightly different speeds. On loose soil (snow, sand, mud) you'll never feel it.
AWD acts differently as it only engages at a slip.
Big, BIIG, BIIIIG repair bill comping your way if you keep it up.

AWD is always active...their differentials built different to allow that. I think you're thinking of Auto 4x4 which only engages when it senses traction loss.

RE: when im in 4x4 ?
jd two things one i said i used it for the first month or so when i was still used to driving a car, ie when i would pull out onto the main road id slip and fishtail when it was wet out.
sometimes ill still throw it in 4w when i know im gonna have to punch it to get onto the road and its wet, why wait for traffic to be completely clear. btw im talking about like at a tbone crossing.
i like this quote, i drive way too fast to worry about cholestoral.
