Reverse Slipping? (after heavy load)
The other day I cut up the oak trees we had laying around for fire wood, loaded it all in the truck. I'd guess around 600lbs+, but it could have been quite a bit more. The rear was pretty low, almost on the tires...
I backed the truck up the little hill that is our driveway and noticed squeak that sounded like it was coming from the rear end, truck kept backing up so I didn't think much of it.
Today while backing up a little incline in a paved parking lot I heard the same squeak and she was a little hesitant to back up.
So I decided to take a video and see what ya'll think, I couldn't get the squeak to pop up for the camera but I think the engine tells the story, and I can definitely feel slippage in reverse. All Drive gears are working fine...
In that video I'm backing up a hill and the engine is revving very high while apply the throttle down in reverse.
I think I fried reverse backing up that hill with the load. I had no issues until that moment.
I haven't yet dropped the pan to see if there's anything interesting in it yet.
This is a video on flat ground, I took the video while the women was backing up, I didn't believe she was in reverse because of the heavy amount of engine revving.... The slippage explains that........

Yea, 1st and reverse. Sounds like all that weight might have over heated the tranny too on an old one. How does the fluid look/smell? Not that that matters too much with atf4. How far did you go with the load and was OD on?
