Great Explanation Mike...
One other things guys... read Tonka's thread on driving on icy conditionds. It pretty well explains how easily the drive train can get in a bind when operating with the Transfercase differential locked. I know you might have use your rig for a while on the really slipery stuff with the "T"case locked, but be on the lookout for any feeling of binding in the driving of your trucks. If you do feel any resistance or bind you will probably have to back up a short ways to shift the rig back into 4 Hi Open. Whatever you do DO NOT continue to operate in LOCK if you feel any kind of a bind, as serious damage can result to the drivetrain if you continue on with it binding.
Hope I made this clear enough to understand.
