- '00 XLT
I have a 2000 XLT with an automatic transmission (5-speed --> 3 + 2OD). When going downhill, even on relatively modest grades, I have to ride the brakes to prevent from developing excessive speed. I've tried downshifting, and that does not seem to alivieate the problem. The only remedy I have found is to move the transfer case to 4x4 LO. This of course is not very practical in the city, and even in some remote trails.
Can someone explain if this behaviour is normal. If it is not, what might be the cause and what should I have the shop look at first.
Thanks for the help.
