I was just reading on this Jeep Forum that I was looking at and they say that you shouldn’t drive in 4Hi down the thruway because going over 50-55mph in 4wd isn’t the safest thing to do and it wears on the drivetrain alot faster. Does this make sense to anyone here? :shrug: **_EDIT_ And I know it should only be used when the pavement is not dry… such as Snow and what not.** ---

For the 4wd noob: 4wd only helps You accelerate from low speeds. It does not make You invincible, it does not mean that You can stop or steer any faster / better. You should be in 2wd unless You are trying to get out of shit. No offense intended, and no babies were harmed in the typing of this post. ---

That’s basically what I thought… if it’s that bad out you shouldn’t being doing the thruway speed limit anyways. And yes, I already knew that 4wd doesn’t make you invincible. Stopping and steering don’t have that much to do with 4wd. :tup: ---

awd stopping = 2wd stopping, but i think an awd/fwd would aid a bit in steering? seemed like it can pull you through a turn… ---

Stopping and steering don’t have that much to do with 4wd. :tup: :tup: You can do it, but it’s not advisable. In one situation (family emergency) i gunned the 33Downtown in 4hi @ 90mph… ~5miles maybe. Nothing blew up, no real irevocable damage. > [@newman](#): > > awd stopping = 2wd stopping, > > but i think an awd/fwd would aid a bit in steering? seemed like it can pull you through a turn… not the same as 4wd on essuvees. neither the diffs nor the tcase are made like an STi/Evo/etc. ---

Uh, as far as I know, if it is like any other Jeep Transfercase : 4Hi = everyday driving including highway. Extra traction is provided in 4Lo = multiplying power using much much shorter gearing, but not allowing you to travel higher than xxx speed. In most cases after 1994, the T-case locked the center diff when you went to 4Lo - otherwise known as “Lo-lock” 2Hi = two wheel drive everyday driving. Unless your transfercase has another selection : 4Hi should be perfectly suitable for driving on the highway. Not a bad ride. ---

howie, how would the t-case lock the diff? you need a spool inside the differential to lock the axle. ON TOPIC: you CAN use 4hi at thruway speeds, but you shouldnt for a few reasons. one of them being that like someome said already, if you need 4wd then theres a reason why you shouldnt be going fast. second, on jeeps the front diff/axle and driveshaft arent as strong as the rear so you would be putting more stress on them than your rear components. and yeah, it is a nice ride. theyre quickly gaining modability and theres tons of aftermarket suspension and driveline parts and general accessories. ---

I’ve been out of the Jeep game for a bit, but I know on a 241 or 242 transfercase, that was the situation.
