A proper question for a 4x4 owner is not "How fast can I go?" (nor should it be a question for ANY truck owner, unless your name is 94rt10ohio ).
More appropriate questions would be:
"How deep does the stream need to be before I should worry?"
or
"How many logs can I cross before I blow a CV axle?"

I can tell you this. KRC Performance by me has modded the hell out of some Quadra-Drive SRT Jeep Grand Cherokees. They have done a couple that push 600 HP and live at the track.
The QD system basically is always in 4WD and has automatic lockers in both differentials, resulting in immediate "hook-ups" off the line, giving a tremendous advantage.
I know the engine & tranny are modded, but I am pretty sure the transfer case is stock. So I would say if their stock Chrysler transfer cases can handle it, you shouldn't have too much to worry about...

It's 4Lo you need to worry about going fast. You can simply look at your rpm gauge to figure that out. I think it's around 35mph for 4Lo, but I was just out cruising the last snow storm at 80mph comfortably in short bursts.... Hey, I had places to go!..lol
4Hi works like a normal differential. You don't even notice your in 4hi when your on the highway or at any speed for that matter.

The truck can probably handle it, but if there's a reason to use 4wd on the highway, I personally wouldn't be driving 65-75mph (100-120km/h). I see people driving Jeeps and other SUVs going that fast all the time on the highway - but remember that most of those people are idiots and think that 4wd means they are indestructible, until they spin out into a ditch. If it's slippery out, you should be slowing down whether or not you have 4wd. The people who don't are the ones that cause all the accidents that come every storm.
