This truck has been quite dependable on my trips without a trailer yet when I haul a heavy trailer for too long the clutch seems to start grabbing in first gear and the transmission case gets very hot to touch. It happened again yesterday while hauling loaded hay wagons. Couple trips of 30 minutes at 30 mph 3rd gear mostly. Sometimes I can smell it before I notice other signs.
The clutch, flywheel, and pedal linkage were replaced 4-5 years ago.
When that work was done ‘tractor fluid’ was put in. Since then I have drained and flushed that out and replaced with ATF which is correct I believe.
I am unskilled but willing to work on mechanical stuff.
reading the posts on this site has been very helpful through the years keeping this truck running good.
