Engine is the 235. I have two questions - since I've had the truck, the transmission grinds when shifting into 4th. It's never changed, better or worse, but it's always been there. If I double-clutch, it does not grind. What causes this? I've had this truck 15 years with the same behavior.
It has recently started popping out of third gear when not under load - like if I'm coasting down a hill in third gear.
Should I be worried about either issue? I'm running regular 80W-90 in the tranny and transfer case. Thanks in advance!!

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

if it dosen't need fixed, break it
