Did I Get Screwed On My 700R4
I took my 83 van in to get serviced an the next day, or less than 200 mi, The trans, failed. It started with a loud whining noise in 1st gear and it stop in 2nd and came back in 4th after a few miles it lock up in 1st.. Also the rear seal is now leaking.. The whole thing makes me wonder??. When the mechanic drop the pan the oil look good and clean and didn’t smell to burnt, just a little and very little black in the filter an a little metal on the magnet, I then went and got dount when I came back he was puting the pan back on.. I am wondering if he could have done something to make the trans, fail??? Please let me know if you got any ideas.. Thanks.. RVFlyfisher

Water crossings can provide some of the most exhilarating and challenging 4WDriving around. They can also prove to be the most expensive! A 4WD is not an amphibious vehicle, in fact they are not even waterproof. The actual depth that you can cross depends on your vehicle. For example, a stock LandCruiser may be submerged at the depth a raised Hilux doesn't even wet the door sills. As a general rule, if its above the top of your wheels its probably too deep. A water crossing should not be attempted by inexperienced or ill-prepared 4WDrivers. Prior to a water crossing, it is a good idea to place your recovery gear on top of other luggage. The last thing you want to do is be searching under your fridge, tents and luggage for your recovery gear when you are stuck in the middle of a crossing.
