The entire drivetrain is loaded equal when you launch a truck on a dry road. If you were to turn that would cause a problem. In the winter a wheel catching a dry part if your pulling someone loads that wheel and breaks joints. Same applies to any condition in the mud. When off road you need to keep wheel spin at a minimum, at WOT in the mud things can start to happen when one wheel catches traction and puts an uneven strain to one corner. Nothing is bullet proof......I have been their.....

Hey JD...Don't be mad....
....BE HAPPY !
BTW: You are the one that brought up happy people to start with. I just...well...pushed it a little further out toward the edge of the envelope.
But....DON'T WORRY...

JD, I am lost.
What do you mean sand in there a long time?
Beachbumcook, don't worry I don't need that X. Yeah some ppl use their truck for actual work, sometimes you got get on it to get out. But spinning your tires in sand and powerbraking in 4hi on the street is two totally different things.
4lo is geared low, and I have never heard of a truck being damaged by high RPM's in 4lo. I had a z71 I had to do that nearly all the time cause it didn't have enough power, and a '95 3/4 ton work truck that had to pull pipe across the dunes and you had to use 4lo.

The sand goes through any seal and stays in the truck a long, long time. I used to go to Silver lake in Michigan to the dunes. 5 yrs later you still find sand in the wrong places.
When you usually beak something it from an uneven loading or intial shock to the drive train from one point sticking and then unloading back to a harsh loading of a individual wheel.
In drag racing a wheel line lock lets the drive train load, where as in a trans lock shocks the drive train when released.

Yeah Dana 60's are known for letting in dirt and other things. But they can handle it.
