Lost reverse in 4hi
Title says it all. I'm back in holy jim right now off roading. Some soft dirt and a little rock stuff. Was in 4hi for about a half mile. Went to reverse to turn around. Speedo and tach went up. No reverse. Put it in 2 hi. Reversed fine. Normal? Not normal? Help me out. Do I need to worry? Cuz I am... Hah

In theory that should not be able to happen.
However the first time it happened to me everything seemed to work the next time. Within a year I needed a new transmission as the reverse band had go out and took out some othe components with it.

Any preventative measures I should take? Does this mean I'm looking at a new tranny in the near future?

IF my assumption is correct, the reverse band can be changed early to avoid further damage and this the need for an entire trans. It is still costly as the trans needs to be removed to do the band.
Keep an eye out for any slip or slow engagement in reverse. If it happens again, then look into the repair. It could have been a one if strange occurrence.

Ok. Since I got the truck, it has a slower than normal engagement to reverse than I am used to. I drove a mazda 3 before this so I know it's a totally different thing, but, it still does take like a half second longer than I think and it clunks in. And it's been doing this for forever. An early sign?
However I think if wait for further signs like another slip or longer engagements.
When that happens talk to a reputable transmission shop.
