Default Just so you know

I was a test driver for Dana-Spicer, one of the largest four wheel drive and differential manufacturers in the world for about 3.5 years. In that time I happily destroyed many test vehicles. Two in particular by running them in four wheel drive on dry pavement. The tranny in one lasted 400K the other lasted just under 200K. First the trannys got very, very hot vaporizing and burning all the tranny oil within. Then the gears and bearing got hot. Then...they stopped working.
