I drove my truck in four wheel drive for four hundred miles. Can this hurt the truck?

Honestly, it should be okay, but that is something you shouldn't do. When on dry pavement, there is no give for the front axles when turning (the inner wheel turns slower than the outter).

What I would suggest, if there is no strange noises, have the transfer case serviced and the front differential fluid checked to make sure it is full. It should be fine.

If you have other questions, let me know.

I am not use to driving that truck and didn't notice it until I got to a tight parking lot. Then you could tell by the stearing.

Thanks

That is where you will feel it. I'm sure everything will be okay.

Let me know if you have other questions.
