np. its one of those things that if its always snow you can get away with, but any dry pavement will add wear and tear. if the diff is open and you drive it around in 2wd, you may not have a problem though.

My credo
it is easier to fix and understand than "her"
with the d28 they didnt last as long as d35 as far as consumable parts.

2 hi on the dri is fine though, just remember to do frequent inspections.

i lock mine in the first big snow of the year and leave them locked in until the weather gets good again. i have always done this, all my buddies do it, and my dad and grandpa did it for years. never heard of any problems it caused

If I know snow is coming the day that I'm driving, I lock it and don't unlock until the roads have cleared.
