    issue shifting to 4x4 Low

    If your transmission is in neutral when you're trying to hit 4 low, it's something inside the tranny that's not making full release. If you're not in neutral, you should be.

    Who can help me ID this trailer?

    RE: Re: RE: Who can help me ID this trailer? Can't find it in either edition of Standard Cataglog, in the TB43, or in Jane's 96-97 logistics. Close to the M269/M270, but not close enough.

    Bobbed Deuce
