nope, should have done too much. Its rough on the driveline, and will wear the tires quicker, but if you don't notice anything strange just driving it, then you didn't hurt it.

I have had that happen more than a dozen times! If someone would have put the light that reminds us where we could see it on the information center, rather than a little green light that the steering wheel spoke hides, that would have cured this problem. I drove 126 miles that way. I did NOT notice any difference in mpg either!

True, true. It feels very different in 4WD. I can't go a mile without noticing its in 4WD, the thing won't make a sharp turn in 4WD.

Yea , like that`s really a smart thing to do. I know it tells you in the owners manual to only use 4WD on slippery surfaces ,but you go ahead and do it anyway....then cry when something breaks!

To be very honest, the only difference I notice when I am in 4x4 is when backing up its jumpy when turning, but notso unless in going foeard I make a tight turn. If Iam driving at 55 and put it in 4x4 I can't tell it at all! Maybe mine is unsuall?
