Hi, I had a brake cylinder rust out and brake fluid was everywhere, so I ended up getting a tow. I have the 242 transfer case, and like a dummy left my owner's manual at home. I put the transfer case in neutral, the transmission in park, and towed it by the back wheels approximately 15 miles. Do you think I messed anything up? I had to put it back in 2wd when I got it to the subdivision so I could take it on home and it seemed to do ok.
When I got back and read the owner's manual it said to only tow by the front wheels, unless you can remove the front driveshaft. I'm just wondering if I burned anything up? I'm assuming you need to tow by the front wheels since the hubs are always locked which will spin the t-case, but it's bad because the t-case oil pump isn't spinning?
Also, in the owner's manual it said that movement of the front wheels shouldn't be disabled by use of a sling b/c it will damage the t-case, can anyone explain what they're talking about.
