OK, IS THIS a major problem? (NewbieTard screw up)...With the snow in Dallas and my inexperience with 4x4s I drove for about 20 miles on essentially dry pavement waiting for it to get bad at 75mph in HI4. When I slowed down the bad bad burning smell hit me...it was me.
I pulled it into 2 wheel and drove home with no problem but I am concerned that I have really damaged the transmission. There is some fluid splatter under the hood near what looks like a couple relief valve hoses that terminate near the oil filler hole. These hoses have compression caps and one is loose and seems to have leaked a few ounces of fluid.
How would you diagnose this possible damage and what damage might this major overheating have caused.
How freaked out should I be about this FUBAR?
