Long story short: I was moving my trailer around and put my STX in 4 wheel drive. Drove it up the mountain about 20 miles and forgot to take it out of 4 wheel drive, pulling a trailer with 2 ATVs, testing my EVO level 2, speeds less than 60, mostly around 45. It seemed to be okay but is there something I should look for to prevent a major issue? I imagine that it would not pull as good in 4X4 on a dry paved road and my power should be better in 2 wheel. Coming down the mountain I had plenty of power, LOL. I have not used 4 wheel drive very much with this truck so I hope it just got well lubricated by driving it a few miles.

 

bad gas mileage? haha,

I think that it will be fine, its once you start driving around with a locker engaged you might notice something

 

as long as you didnt hear any loud pops anywhere you will be just fine. there is nothing wrong with using 4x4 on dry pavement unless you are making sharp turns

 

I hope this is possible without any problems. I have to do it about twice a year in heavy snow.

 

well i live in kelowna b.c. canada

in the winter i pretty much leave 4x4 in for 2 months straight
