Hey guys i just was wondering if you guys could run me through proper use of a part time 4x4 system. i know if you use it incorrectly i can do a lot of harm to my front end.. something about the wheels trying to turn at the same speed

Never, Never use it on dry pavement, and I think (if memory serves me right) only up to 45mph

On dry pavement is the biggest no-no that people do. And I really never follow the manual, cause there not always the smartest way. I just never try to use it over 45mph if you can avoid it..

As long as the road is at least wet your fine, you just don't want to be on dry pavement..
