I often wonder why they don't make trucks AWD. I've had two Jeep Grand Cherokees that were full time AWD and they both lasted well over 250,000 miles with no power-train issues. Never even had to replace a CV joint! Maybe lasted even a lot longer after I sold them. Didn't they make some Dodge pickups like that in the 80s too? Sure beats electronic gismos locking it for you or turning 4wd off and on manually. I have a Subaru now; They're ALL full-time-AWD.
As for my pickup. I only put them in 4wd when I'm going off-road or I know 2wd will not get me up my driveway. I rarely have to push more than a few inches of snow on the public roads since they keep them plowed around here pretty well these days. It does kind of suck having to stop and get out on the highway after I get out of my driveway to lock the hubs out, but at least I can be pretty sure there's not some servo or vacuum switch that's frozen up. However, I guess I have had a manual lock up stick before and ruin a U-joint, so there's that :)
