I have an 86 B2 and a few days ago I was trying out the 4wd just playing around on the railroad tracks and I had a few issues. When I was on flat land the 4wd worked fine but when i started climbing the rocks up to the tracks my issues began. I had it in 4H and in first gear as I was on the incline and I let the clutch completely out and I went no where. The truck didnt stall and I wasn't paying attention and as I kept the motor rev up for several minutes it begin to run hot and started smoking with a buring smell. Then after it started smoking it all of sudden took off and off i went. I let the truck rest a while and started it back up and tried the 4wd and it worked fine on flat land. I think I am low and fluid and thats why on inclines it acts up. Any suggestions? Also I need to replace the fluid in the front and rear end any advice on what kind of fluid to use and exacly how to replace the fluid 
this is my first older model truck and my first 4wd. I have never had to worry about the fluids like this before. Thanks for the help!
