Just got back from a 4X4 training class out in the Anza Borrego Desert. In sand I bogged down .. we were doing an exercise using 4H and low gear .. but once stuck I floored it and the engine reved and the tires didn't move. I had to shift to 4L and low and then the tires broke loose with the two back and one front all throwing sand.
Also, it seems I no longer have compression braking in 4L low .. I use to have it but it no longer seems to be there?
I have a 5R55E and BW 13-54 .. I have a Detroit True Trak in the rear .. open dif front. The Sport has 212000k on the it .. original eng. and trany.
I plan on keeping this rig and have already priced a Jasper engine and trany for replacements. But if my engine is still good do I go with a Jasper trany or find somebody thats a good builder .. somebody that would know off-road needs?
