    If I'm not mistaken, the Ram owners manual states you should engage 4WD while the vehicle is in motion in drive, not stopped or in neutral. I think it's meant to be engaged anywhere from 5 MPH to 55MPH if I remember correctly.

    My 2016 Tundra manual says to drive 10 miles in 4WH every 1000 miles to keep everything lubricated. So I do that when driving straight down the highway, preferably on a rainy or snowy day.

    I engage mine every 3 months. I read that the actuator can seize up if not used. I was going to buy an old 4Runner to replace my old one for my off roading. The owner never engaged it. I tested it and sure enough. It never engaged. The owner took it to the dealership and they said the actuator is seized and will likely need it replaced because they can’t re-engage it. That’s an $800 repair…

    I had a issue with my 4WD in my Envoy. Bad bearing in right side of the front axle. Solution remove the axle. Still have a locking rear axle and hi/lo ratios. Just load 150 lbs of salt and Kitty liter in the back and go. As long as the snow is not touching the frame. At that point it is time to wait for the plow or fire up the snow mobile. The old Crew Cab 82 300 CI I-6 also did not do well when the snow touched the frame. Snow does drift and 3 tons does not ride on top of it. Had a use for a snowmobile then and still do.

    This video is just a poorly done (lousy speaker) vain show off of how your kill switch works. It offers nothing of value to the viewer such as what kill switches to use, how to get them installled, etc. Glad you're proud of your kill switch. Meantime your viewers have gained nothing from this poorly done video by a poor speaker.

      4WD auto is fine, generally speaking, but there’s no point if conditions don’t call for it. It’ll affect your gas mileage though, and general wear and tear. 2WD for normal operation is usually your best bet.
