I'm hoping you can help me with some diagnosis. 97 D1 automatic.
Over the weekend, I was on a trail climbing a steep hill. I heard a mechanical 'whizz' and started getting this funny feeling in the driveline. Kind of like a slipping clutch (just trying to describe it - my truck is automatic) that felt like it was from the rear wheels. Almost like driving in light snow where you feel the engine, but the wheels don't hook up for a slip second. I made it up the hill and decided it might be the abs (light has been on for a while and the pedal has been acting up lately). I pulled the fuse and kept on going. We we're done with most of the climbing. I couldn't really recreate it and figured it was in my head. Drove home fine.
Today, I was pulling a trailer from the bottom of my yard and it happened again. The trailer is full of construction trash and weighs more than 1k pounds by now. I had it locked (steep yard) and under full load/torque, I felt a little slip and heard a little whizz. I unlocked and pushed the gas down and couldn't recreate it (by then I was on the driveway).
Any idea what could be going on?
