Did I damage my 4 wheel drive system ?

Good One lol !

Seems impossible to me to drive on the highway in 4Lo, unless you were going 40km/h with the engine screaming...

Not to mention that the truck would feel like it's tied to a tree or you're hauling a house behind you.

I just noticed you're Canadian. You may have been in 4LO.

HA HA HA!! I'm glad no one's at the office yet to notice me randomly laughing at my computer!!

I still maintain, no way in 4 Low. Maybe the DIAL was in 4 Low and you never switched out of drive to actually let it change?
No, tow mode doesn't disengage 4 Low. Once you are IN 4 Low, the only thing that disengages it is the dial, and only when you are in neutral (or is it park? I forget, but it tells you on screen). It would be very bad for it to actually try to switch out of 4 Low while in motion.

If we're left in 4 low then the truck some how disengage from 4 low or you would have known right a way.

4l does sometimes fail to engage, but you would get a warning about that in the info display

I think the ratio is 2.7:1, so 60 mph would be pushing 5400 rpm. How you would not notice that is beyond me.

Edit for math.

No way you were in 4Lo all the way home. Truck hits a speed limiter at 60 mph in 4LO. Found it messing around on back roads here.

And surely at near 60mph, you could tell without a doubt that you were pushing it being in 4L?
