And it didn't exploded? Only full-time four wheel drive may you
drive on pavement and then not in low range.

Ouch, forget what I posted about what to look for....
That was your driveshaft or drivetrain winding up like a clock spring
trying it's best to detonate the transfer case into many many little
pieces....
You cannot run part time 4x4 on pavement. The front and rear axles get
locked together and they spin at different rates when the steering wheel
turns or even just going straight on some. This means one tire 'must'
scuff on the road or you 'will' explode something.
I just blew a front driveshaft u-joint doing that last weekend. I was
on a trip running snow at 60 mph and came to dry road. By the time I
realized it wasn't going to snow anymore I couldn't get it out of 4x4
high it was so wound up. I had to get off the highway and stop, then
spin my tires to unlock things. The damage was done though, it took out
one bearing cap on the front u-joint. Grr... At least it only started
going BANG BANG BANG about 5 miles from home....
Our old tenant blew his transfer case to pieces doing the same a while
back.

Re: Slipping in 4x4 low
The reason Jerry asked about pavement is because if you have Jeep's Command
Trac 4-wheel drive system, it is strictly a part-time system that should
NEVER be used on dry pavement. The Command Trac system mechanically locks
the front and rear axels together. Since the front and rear axels turn at
different speeds, this system must only be used on slippery surfaces, like
snow, ice, mud, dirt, etc. If used on dry (or even wet) pavement, the
drivetrain will bind up and cause damage to u-joints, transfer case, etc.
You will actually feel the tires skidding and hear chirping, especially
during turns.
If you have Jeep's Select-Trac system, it has a full-time mode which can be
used on any surface, even dry pavement. It also has a part-time mode which
acts just like Command Trac.
If your transfer case selector lever has a full-time position, you have
Select-Trac.
