Hey everyone,
So I was on the beach trying to surf the other day. Got stuck in the sand. I did not have 4WD engaged, but the right rear wheel still kept taking all the power though. The only wheel that moved was that one. I had the differential lock engaged in the front, but no 4WD. Am I misunderstanding something completely or do I have an electrical failure? Or something third?
The other thing is... When I do +2500 revs on the highway for 20-30 minutes I get a warning light, that my ATF is hot. So I pull over, let it run till the light disappears, then I stop the engine for 20 minutes and drive again. Now if I keep it at 2000 revs it can go for a really long time with no warning lights. I had the transmission checked at a professional 5000 miles ago, and had replaced ATF, filter, magnets, gaskets. No trace of small metal parts in the fluid. The ATF level is a little high. Could that be the problem?
What do you say, am I an idiot?
