Just bought my first 40 series. Canadian diesel BJ42 1980 3b diesel with 4 spd.
The shippers were able to drive it on the truck well enough but when it arrived 3 days later, it can hardly pull itself.
Symptoms.
Transfer lever makes no difference regardless of position (previous owner said that he'd damaged Low range and it only ran in 2-4Hi).
Only at low RPM and on a down grade or flat it will barely pull itself forward (in 1st) or reverse.
No Burning clutch smell. No problem shifting into gears but it is like it is only very partially engaged and no power getting to wheels.
Any clues as to what this problem would be? Im hoping not to have to replace transfer case, this early in.
Cheers,
Allan
