: Did I Hurt Anything?

I drove about 55 miles on Friday towing a 9,000 lb. trailer in FWD. About 35 miles were interstate, with one pretty good climb. 70-75 MPH, dry roads, 70 degree temps. Should I be concerned about the transfer case, front axle, or anything else?


Thanks,


Mark

I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe change the Tcase fluid.

Been there, done that. Fluid looked darker, but not burnt.
Yes, Dexron III. I put synthetic in after I did that.

Did the same thing with my 02 with 12k lbs...... I had trans fluid gurgluling out. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/smiley19.gif Panic mode was set in. Once I found out the dumb mistake, I took it out of 4wd. Never did anything to it. It worked with no problems until I sold it.
