Engine braking, transmission problem?

[Steve Wolfe 3]

I am not able to use my engine to slow the vehichle when in 4 wheel drive (either high or low). When in 4 wheel drive, if I put the vehicle in 1st gear, it should (and used to) keep the rig from going too fast down a hill. Now it just seems to coast, almost like it is in D rather than 1st. It does this even if I completely stop, then put it in 1st, then release the brakes.



Anyone else have this problem and solve it?



Thanks,



Steve



it is a 2001 with limited slip if that matters.

There was a TSB that covered a problem with engine braking on the early Tracs. I don't remember the details though.
