I have never overheated with my stock setup.
But then what do I know, only got 209,000 on my orig stock 4R100.

I thought that the hubs locked automatically with 4 on the fly. Do you have to unlock them?
I actually had the truck in 4 wheel low while I was climbing the windy dirt road at 15 mph for 2 miles, but at the campground, the road was paved; so I put it back into 2 wheel drive just before I backed up, and then the fluid came out. I guess that was one of my mistakes. I should have let it cool, then left it in 4 wheel drive low.
Is it alright to be in 4 wheel drive low on pavement?
