ok all,
just got back from a trip up the beach near wedge island WA, and it was soft as, (keep in mind we as a group did lotsa k's on the beach)
i was running for extended periods in 4th gear in low range, and with lotsa rpm, until i finally hit the really soft stuff, the engine didn't stop, just blew a good sized puff of white smoke, a point, of note my mates Range Rover sport did the same thing
also when running those couple stretches on the beach she was burning the clutch, is this a good indicator that the clutch is on the way out?
so the question is, what was the smoke, truck was fine after that, no codes, cept when i left the key in accessory position over night and battery went dead, and then got a jump start with the 4wd selected, - had to clear the powertrain fault code, but that's a different story
now i need to go give it a bath, i think there's more sand in it than out
