To answer the "Why drive @65in 4WD question....

Only reason this happens is Road conditions vary.
In one stretch 35 MPH in 4WD (not mandatory, but helpful) and 1/2
mile latr, 65MPH clean roads, 4WD un-necessary but ...1/2 mile latr,
35 MPH and 4WD helpful once again. This is a common situation
in the Lake Effect Snow Area Region that I live (Central New York)
I could switch back and forth between 4WD often, but I just
leave it there.
1/2 mile can really be a day and night difference in Driving
conditions around here, What I know of B.C. (I skiied at Whistler
before...) Its probably a little different there but I was only
there the one time (and only for 3 days) so...
Am I hurtin the tranny?
