I always keep it in 4 auto while I drive it around town. If I am purposely going to run, I switch it to 4hi. Many many times though, I get on it and it just grabs all 4 when below 50 or so...I feel it lock down a split second after spinning the rears. Maybe not the best on my drivetrain, but I bought it to have all the fun I can have. F' it.

I miss having a posi-loc on my truck. 2 wheel low is pretty tough. I used to take a 4.3L blazer out and and floor it. It wouldn't do anything in first but when it shifted to second it would pull the truck sideways. I never took it faster then about 40 as it didn't want to shift into 3rd, and sounded like it was going to blow.
Nice thing about having cheap trucks to abuse.

My truck isn't electric shift, it's the crappy vacuum shift. I want to order another posi-loc unit for it. It was super nice to have the extra choice, and guaranteed axle locked in when it was needed.

how fast do you think you can safely go in 4hi and for how long? i have a manual t case btw.
And another question, the only difference between push button and manual is that the push button has a clutch, right?

i went 140mph many times with my truck in 4hi and around 150 a couple of times. i am not saying it was safe but it didn't feel unsafe.

I know this thread hasnt been active for over a month, but I just read it and wanted to ask a couple questions. Being that the autotrack T-cases have a clutch in them and the front end is engaged all the time, and the clutch helps to ease on the power transfer shouldnt it be safe to launch in 4wd auto? Is this hard on the clutch in the T-case or is it hard on the other parts? I being stock have not even close to the power that many of you guys have, but I have used 4wd auto a few times on the street to get off the line...
