4WHi on Highway - Major mechanical breakdown

No worries. Most of these part-time systems are just electronic versions of the old manual systems. When you used to have to get out of the cab, lock each hub manually, then get back in and wrestle with a lever on the floor, you tended to use it as a last resort!!! I would probably estimate about 75-80% of the part-time 4wds sold could easily be replaced with 2wd.
If the conditions don't allow for me to put my truck in 4wd, I take my '03 Buick that has 4 snows on it. Drives better than any truck in 2wd.
Truck moves from my driveway for 2 reasons.... To Tow, or to be in 4wd during a storm. That is it! I only use it for what it's meant for. I do my daily driving in something more practical which has more than paid for itself in gas savings.
In the 6yrs of owning my truck, I have saved $9k in gas alone. Plus, my truck is worth ~$4k more because of the ridiculously low mileage!
