That does sound weird, any luck yet? Maybe like some one said above the mud is caked up in the wheels or something. I had a bronco once that I buried to the axles when I finally got myself spun out of the mud it was hard taking off, I was a newby back then and didn't think much of it till the mud ate my break pads up and I blew a rear cylender and both front rotor seals, not saying that's your problem but that mud is hard as concrete when it dries up-should have left the rust-olet in the mud-lol

Yep. You finally get to that point sometimes where you just need to do that. Pay for an hour of the mechanics time and he might be able to at least tell you what the problem is. I've done that before especially since they have lifts and other diagnostic equipment. It was well worth it to me on more than one occasion. Kept me from just throwing parts at it.

shop thinks its something to with the trans but can't pin point it to be able to have jasper warranty it, trans fluid smells burned but not much metal in the bottom of the pan, so gotta beat it up for a week or so and hope whatever is wrong goes completely gone so it can be warrantied, weird thing that gets us is after 30 mph it feels like all the power comes back but from a stand still its a train
