when i drove in 4-HI on Dry Roads? I remember.. I had a 1993 Chevrolet Blazer Tahoe LT, and i was 18 i think, and i thought "Hey, I can leave this in 4-HI all the time and get better Traction and be Safer!" .. 3 days to a Week later the Transmission was "Dead"...

. can anyone tell me how Leaving it in 4-HI all the time made the Engine be hotter (if i rememebr right, it stats at 220, overheats starting at 240, digital gauges) and then just "Had a Ruined Trans"? Something about "Its supposed to work when its Slippery?" I forgot....

haha i saw your answer to the other question. There are some problems with running 4HI everywhere

1) extra wear driving all 4 tires
2) different gear ratios can cause problems on dry pavement
3) turning is a bitch
4) you don't really need it unless its crappy weather.
