4x4 10 miles a month???

Listen for a noise in 4x4 when you turn. That is usually the first sign of something going wrong from my past experiences. Also, listen for a noise when backing up in 4x4.

4x4 damage when turning on dry pavement -- I need to engage 4wd to pull the trailer out of my backyard during the wet season (yes we have one, just very short). A few times I was in 4wd before getting the truck straight, and turned on the pavement. Heard some tire scrubbing (just a bit). I'm not too worried about it, because it was slow speed and only done a few times. Now, I make sure I've already got the truck straightened out before tapping 4wd.... I've used 4wd a lot offroad, since this and everything seems good!

I understand the speed (62mph) and when to use four wheel drive...my questions deals with the following:


The section under "four wheel drive" video says "drive your truck in four wheel drive at least 10 miles a month.

www.toyotaiguide.com

the video that states that you should drive 10 miles a month is under "Automatic Disconnecting Differential" I sweat that I am not making this up!!!

Thanks...this site is great!
