Hey guys, so I was out this past weekend quading and got stuck in the first mudhole I hit and realized that the awd was not working, the dash says its in, and with reverse override I could get all four tires spinning but nothing moving forward. Anywho we decided to keep going and id just go around the bad parts with my 2wd. Then about two hours later I started to lose power in the throttle and it almost felt as if I was out of gas and then eventually died as I lost throttle response. So we start rigging it up to tow me back and I tried one more time to start and use the quad and she worked like normal. So I headed back and after five mins it died again as I lost power slowly. Let it cool, tried again and I went for about 20 mins before it died and I also noticed my awd started working again. Anyways this continued back to the truck and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. My thoughts are ecu overheating somehow
