I only drive my '86 F250HD around town with the transfer case in 4 HI when the weather has gone to crap. If it is bad enough for me to lock in the hubs and shift to 4 HI, speed isnt my main concern, and I am usually doin 25-30 mph tops around town. Off-road, I will hit 50-60 on local gravel and dirt roads while in 4 Hi, and haven't had any problems yet. I have never seen an owners manual for my truck, and haven't ever really looked into it, so I have no hard info for ya, just what I have done..........which dosen't make it correct

In 4wd high you should be able to drive whatever speed your truck is normally capable of in 2wd.

Yes... with road conditions being the limiting factor.
