You shouldn't have done any damage....that really isn't anything to worry about that, as long as you weren't driving fast around corners where tires can't "slip", or you did any real sharp turning where the front of the truck was "hopping" from the tight steearing.
Fact of the matter, you want to put your truck into 4 wheel drive at least once a month to keep things lubed and moving. Never had any problems with all of the 4x4s that either my parents or I have owned by doing that....as long as it isn't for extreme distance. Hope that this helps.

hey power and sound, welcome to the world of 4X4 mistakes, lol...just kidding, the guys are correct, doubtful that you hurt anything, i have done this several times thinking i'm turning up the fan speed w/o looking...gotta love the twist-dial engagement on these new trucks...i realize it when i turn and my truck plows straight ahead....anyway, do like the guys say and lock your truck in every now and then, get out in a field, or something similar, like a trail...and run long enough to slop some grease around and let the gears do some turning...no worries, Rich
