Anyway, in L it would essentially be 2wd low range, but again the transfer case would send the power to whichever wheel had the least traction. Typically this was a front wheel. Same as driving around in H but much slower of course.

L Loc is like driving around in 4 lo. Low range four wheel drive, front and rear axles are getting power.
So in L or H, the power would go to the wheel with the least amount of traction. Does that mean that if you had a few tires stuck in the mud they'd have the least amount of traction and then they'd get the power?

Seems like it would work better to send power to the wheels that had the most traction. But I don't know if I'm understanding this correctly.
