Reverse In 4X4?
 
Is this a no-no? I saw recently a story about going in reverse while in
4X4. It said that you could damage your T/C. I can see 1 or 2 miles, but
10, 20, or 30 feet? Any validity to this? TIA

Re: Reverse In 4X4?
 
The cut on the diff gears is strongest in forward so heavy pulls should
be from the rear.

Other than that I have never heard about t-case issues in reverse.

Re: Reverse In 4X4?
 
No. Although, I have seem many full-time Chevys where a worn out
chain would jump in reverse. And I wouldn't pull anything because the
reverse idler is the weakest gear, and ring and pinions are far weaker
in reverse. Leaf springs will bend.

Perhaps, but a REAL Jeepster has a T-400 automatic, and a chainless Dana 20

Well ... I've been backing out of my snowy laneway and on occasion snowy
parking spots down at the LCBO for a few years now in 4H ... no problems :-)

Only under load or in a non slippery situation would there be a problem with
reverse in Part Time 4X4.

a couple hundred feet of 4x reverse...............o#o

Crap man, I was almost to the end of a 2 track along the edge of a ridge
with a lake on the drop with 2' of snow and came head on to a logging
truck and had to back up a couple miles in a hurry! LOL, the logger was
testing me to see how good I could keep it together while he cam at me
big and fast all the way....

It was fun actually, then one of his guys did the same for me in hid 4x4
pickup later on in the trail. That turkey in the pickup was just having
'way' too much fun in reverse! I couldn't catch him in forward!!!
