You fellows out there with diesel pickups had better find 4wd when the roads are slick. All brands are more front end heavy. I always run mine in 4wd when it is slick. As for not feeling it before it is too late. That is BS. The reason so many 4wd vehicles are in the ditch is the wing nut behind the wheel.

Also anything that is thirty years old or newer has the same ratio differentials front and back. So higher speeds will not hurt anything other than some lube/maintenance on the front drive components. The old Power wagons and some Jeeps had a slightly lower ratio in the front differential. It was to help keep them going straight. These you could cause damage if they where driven on clear roads. I have one of the old Power wagon chassis. We used to haul logs out of the woods with it. Never did have the whole body.
