experience with 04' 4-wheel drive

how is your 4 wheel drive unit holding up?
i have manually engaged 4 wheel drive but i am afraid to use it even in the harshest conditions because I keep thinking it will burn up.

everyone knows that one set of wheels spin abit slower to compensate for any slippage when 4 wheel drive is engaged, but how do you know when to put it on?

what is the ratio?

i mean, when i do engage 4 wheel drive(when the roads are slippery) i keep thinking that i am somehow slowly destroying the gears.
is there anyway to change the gear ratio so that all wheels spin the same?
how long has your 4 wheel drive unit lasted? how often do you use it?

thanks

Use 4WD when you need it. Don't worry about it. The gearboxes are all lubed and will not "burn up".
