I've just returned from another African adventure to the central Kalahari, great trip and write up will follow on my blog....
I came across and had a number of discussions with various individuals in SA and Botswana about towing automatics. We had to tow a broken down 70 series into a town in Bots. My truck is Manual so not a concern for me, but the discussion centred around the damaged caused to the transfer/gearbox as a result of no oil circulation.
2 distinct schools of thought:
1) only tow if you drop both props
2) as long as transfer case is in neutral, then no problem towing and auto.
So which is correct?
