My 2003 Explorer 4wd has 170,000 and has developed a slip when climbinh steep hills. It is just a slight, intermittent slip that goes away when you accelerate hard. It also goes away if you switch from 4wheel auto to 4wheel high. I assumed it is a transmission problem, but why doesn't it occur in 4wheel high? The rear end was redone about 30,000 miles back but I haven;t had any work done on the tranny or transfer case.
FYI - It started this slip about 18 months ago so I had the trans filter and fluid changed. That solved the problem until a few months ago when the slip came back. Any ideas?
