MPG?
Left the baby in 4wd on pavement for about 4 miles. I was running about 45mph for the trip. Pretty much straight road...curves, but no turns.
When I noticed I dropped it back into 2 HIGH. Got her into the garage a few minutes later. I smelled what seemed to me something "sickly sweet." Kind of like the smell an electric motor makes when it's burning out. I've given it a week. The smell has not returned. But I also have not returned to 4wd. I see no leaks. No funny noises.
SO...what did I do....just boil some fluids, shave some steel bits off the teeth in the gears...??? Maybe just some melting rubber on the tires?
I'm guessing I should change some fluid out pretty soon. What's the most likely damaged component? I have open differentials, so I'm thinking the transfer case?
Change all the fluids...front, rear, transfer, transmission...just in case?
