Did I damage my 4X4 '82 K20 Hub
I got into my manual hub as the wheel was a bit loose and tightened up the bearing race. Was in there a while back to change out the U-joint. That went well. But I left that hub locked in and the other not. Drove 200 miles before I checked. I did not engage the transfer case to 4X4. Could I have done some damage?

I wouldn't imagine any damage. it would just spin that axle shaft, and either spin the opposite shaft backwards, or spin the driveshaft

Re: Did I damage my 4X4 '82 K20 Hub
That doesn't sound to me like something that should've hurt anything. Jeep Cherokees (XJ) and other models use a vacuum disconnect on one axle shaft - when in 2WD, one side of the axle's innards are spinning with the wheel and the other is disconnected just inside the axle tube.

Re: Did I damage my 4X4 '82 K20 Hub
As long as you put the hub back together right your good like that.Even if you used 4 wheel drive the unlocked hub wouldn't have gotten power to it and it might pull one way but no damage i can think of even like that.Most of us leave the hubs unlocked for daily driving in the summer,Then in the winter we just leaved the locked for the snow.
