4-lo for 2-lo?
i heard on another forum on here if you keep your manual hubs unlocked and engage your transfercase into 4-lo that your truck will be pulling in 2-lo and i was wondering how true this is before i give it a try, and if anyone knows how it works, i wouldn't mind knowing that also.????

Hubs locked and transfer case in 2WD you're fine. Hubs locked with transfer case in 4WD and you're having fun. Hubs UNLOCKED and transfer case in 4WD, I believe it was mentioned in a post fairly recently that it can eat up the hubs if done excessively.

Could someone explain exactly how running in 2-lo will eat up your hubs? I've been pulling hay trailers in the fields for years with my F-250 in 2-lo, and with 200,000 miles on my truck I still have no problems out of them. Would just like a good explination, I just don't see how this is so...
