Yes x2 Thanks for the help didn't know you could shift into 4wd going down at normal speed. Does it damage anything if I do it the way I've been doing it? Cause that's always how I've done it.

No damage. Try the proper way and report back.

Both will apply power to your front axle. Full Time is for solid surfaces. Part Time locks the wheels together, and is for snow/ice, mud, gravel, and other surfaces where tires can slip without much force.

Using Part Time on solid ground will cause damage.

Actually, Full-Time works very well in snow. The front and rear axles don't fight each other resulting in a more "controlled" driving experience.
