Now, I know that my 08 V6 has the same Torsen center diff as the V8s so it is OK to run it all day long on 4Hi. But I noticed on two separate occasions when stopping that there was a slight burning smell coming from the side of the car (as soon as I hopped out of the driver's seat).
It could be any number of things (tires rubbing, snow burning off the pipes, etc.) but I am wondering if it could be because of running 4Hi for extended periods on the highway. I was doing maybe 60-65 at most, but mostly under due to road conditions.
Thanks for your thoughts,

No issues running with running 4hi all the time. I have 2006 v6 and run 4hi all the time during winter.
