Ask Don how he stops the little Ranger 4x2 and the 2300 lb load. I would
bet that the little itty bitty transmission in that little Ranger 4x2 is
about at it's end of life.


I apply the brakes as needed.
After the big trip I noticed a burnt smell in the transmission fluid so I
took it directly to the dealer to have the transmission drained & flushed.
New fluid was added and all is right. It had less than 10K miles at that
time.
I blame the overloading on the trailer suspension collapsing, causing the
tires to wear right through the heavy steel fenders.
