Default Difference between 4High and 4High Lock

New H3 owner. I know this is probably a dumb question. If the H3 is full time all wheel drive, what is the difference between 4 High and 4 High Lock? I have a base model without the locking diff.

I also used 4 Low Lock the other day. The trans was pretty darn loud. Is that normal?

Anytime you want to do more than 25MPH, 4 hi lock. Under 25 MPH, 4 lo lock.

4 lo lock in 1st or 2nd gear. Very noisy.....normal.

Thank you for the reply. What about the difference between regular 4 High and 4 High Lock? Again I have a base model w/o the locking diff.

4 High Open - provides a constant 40%/60% front/rear torque split

4 High Lock - allows a 50%/50% split front/rear for more slippery surfaces

Technically, there is no torque split when locked, because it is no longer a differential. For example, if the front encounters a slippery surface, torque will be transmitted to the rear up to 100%, and vice versa.
