Is this a no-no? I saw recently a story about going in reverse while in
The cut on the diff gears is strongest in forward so heavy pulls should be from the rear.
Other than that I have never heard about t-case issues in reverse.

Not that I have ever heard of.
Well ... I've been backing out of my snowy laneway and on occasion snowy parking spots down at the LCBO for a few years now in 4H ... no problems :-)
Only under load or in a non slippery situation would there be a problem with reverse in Part Time 4X4.
How do you figure that?

I just backup a ice covered mountain road in South Carolina, I guess it must be time to replace my trans now that I have a couple hundred feet of 4x reverse...............o#o

Crap man, I was almost to the end of a 2 track along the edge of a ridge with a lake on the drop with 2' of snow and came head on to a logging truck and had to back up a couple miles in a hurry! LOL, the logger was testing me to see how good I could keep it together while he cam at me big and fast all the way....
It was fun actually, then one of his guys did the same for me in hid 4x4 pickup later on in the trail. That turkey in the pickup was just having 'way' too much fun in reverse! I couldn't catch him in forward!!!
