Running in 4hi on pavement doesn't hurt anything as long as you don't make any turns. I've never seen a drag strip with turns.so much not good info being swapped around about 4h..... the anxiety, it kills.
that dodge was from not understanding how dragstrips work. he wasnt in 4wd.
you will cause premature wear and potential failure on your components using them on dry situations. lots of binding and super hard to turn, but unless you are actively trying to explode something it wont explode like that. that being said, dont use 4h on dry pavement.
