The ETC would kick in every once in a while. Then the Transmission temp light came on. I pulled over shut off truck waited 5 mins started her up and back to normal but... why would this happen? too much strain on the transmission? and i would figure in 10 degree weather with snow splashing everywhere the gearbox oil would remain warm not hot. any help would be appreciated.

It happened to me twice...once at a car wash when they spray water on the underneath of the car...and the other time was going thru a big snow/slush puddle....   Tony DiFranco (Nhrover) Advanced member Username: Nhrover Post Number: 37 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Tuesday, February 11, 2003 - 07:21 pm:    thanks
