What is the difference between four wheel high and low?
Four wheel drive high is used for everyday purposes such as driving on a snow packed road or light off roading. Four wheel drive low is for special circumstances such as getting out of deep mud and snow or towing a trailer up a steep hill. Four wheel drive should never be used on bare, dry pavement. Use two wheel drive in this circumstance. You will completely ruin your transfer case by using four wheel drive on pavement.
When to use four wheel drive?
Four wheel drive on some vehicles locks up the differential and will cause the inside tire to buck and squeal as you turn. When on dry, smooth, grippy pavement, don't use it because it is hard on your car.
What does a4wd mean on a gmc envoy?

Is it OK to drive in 4 Wheel Drive all the time on pavement with a 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited?
Answer Its fine as long as you have and engage the "Full Time" 4 Wheel drive lever in your Jeep Liberty. Full Time 4 Wheel Drive can be used on any surface including pavement. Dont use the "Part Time" setting, as that is only for 4 Wheel Drive use on sand or snow. Using it on pavement can severely wear down your tires, reduce your gas mileage, and prematurely wear your 4 Wheel Drive components. Actually, I've heard the other way around. And according to the manual, you're not supposed to drive very fast in full time, while in part time you can go up to 45. If you want to do highway driving on the pavement, you're best to stick with two wheel drive, not to mention the extra gas four wheel drive burns. The manual says that you can't drive in 4 wheel high. Depending on what transmission you have, you either have 4 high, 4 low, and 2 wheel drive, or 4 high full, 4 high part, 4 low, and 2 wheel drive. 4 high full, is just that, full time. You can engage it up to 50mph. It doesn't wear anything since those components are already moving. 4 low is for off road, and slow conditions only.

When should you use 4 wheel drive high?
4 wheel drive high is used by most people in snowy weather for extra traction, but it will not provide enough traction for you to drive as you would in clear, dry weather. You should read your owners manual. Some 4WD vehicles should NOT be put into 4WD (high or low) on dry pavement, it will damage the vehicle's drive train.

Why does my 2000 4x4 Tacoma feel like the brakes are being pressed when turning somewhat sharply at slow speed in 4 wheel drive. It bucks a bit as well. Is this normal?
If you are driving in 4 wheel drive on a dry pavement this can occur. It is wise not to use 4 wheel drive while on dry roads. If you have those symptoms while driving off road or in snow you may have a CV joint going bad.
