The only other 4X4 I've owned had manual hubs and a manually shifted "stick on the floor" transfer case. In winter driving on patchy roads with the front hubs locked, I was pretty good about shifting the transfer case back to 2H just before hitting long dry stretches of road. But.....,occasionally..... a slight bind would occur and you had to overcome a higher effort at the transfer case stick to get it out of 4H. No big deal, and you could feel exactly what was going on and deal with it.
With the ESOF transfer case (not "advanced" 4x4) and, presumably, IWE disconnects at the hubs.......... how finicky do we expect the system to be when we're trying to electronically shift from 4H back to 2H if we have screwed up and let get into a bind on "dry" pavement? Will we be looking at a blinking "shift in progress" message until we pull off into a parking lot and do backwards figure-8s or some other gyrations until the damn thing goes back to 2H?
