Locking the hubs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was at the beach today and decided to lock my hubs and shift my 72 blazer on the fly from 2 HI to 4 HI. So I Blaze down the beach and everything is wonderful. Heading back onto the pavement I just could not seem to shift back into 2 HI on the fly. I eventually shifted back into 2 HI after I came to a complete stop, Reversed a bit and put the trans into neutral. So I drive home on the freeway with the hubs still locked and was wondering if it was my imagination or does having the hubs locked put more of a strain on the engine?
