Thanks Everyone, and thanks for the picture Jim ,
Yes I checked both the Intercooler Heat Exchanger, and the Tranny Cooler and the Rad. Dam add the A/C to the picture and it's a got dam gang bang of radiators under there. Boy they put them in a bitchy spot, but instead of taking the top Rad Cover off, I just climbed under and it turned out thats where the connections were going in and out the tranny cooler, dry dry dry. Boy it does look like a beach to get to them if you want to upgrade to a larger cooler or exchanger, what do you do to get that far down there, remove the grill or the rubber from underneath (just wondering) Of course I checked the ALL the connections on all Radiators, Coolers, Exchangers, etc...

Storm, I didn't touch my intercooler, it was spotless after 12k
Although those pictures I posted are crumy, if you look hard, you can see the greezy stuff on the connection to the plastic part of the rad, then if you look you can see it near the clamp down part
(where the plastic attaches to the Rad) plus like I say it was gooy funky greezy scummy on the side of the rad. Could simply be oil build up from Gator blowing oil all over my truck when I followed him home from Eng Town last time.

i would just keep an eye on the tranny fluid level for a while, see if it moves any, other than that just keep an eye on the driveway for new spots

You know now that you mentioned it, it did kind of smell like
skunk weed.
























Then again, EVERYTHING smells like that to me

Hey Rob. I think a rendering carved in sand stone would have had better clarity than those got damn pictures. I've got an Excedrine headache just trying to see anything in those pictures.

Time for a new camera OR SOMETHING HEHE

YA I GOT YOUR PATTERN RIGHT HERE

I have one of these, AND YOU DON'T

Oh here we go, but you only ran an 11 once
I really should have made another pass that day
so I could shut you up once and for all
I'm telling you now, even if it cost me 3 hundred for the day,
and 8 hours driving on the road, I'll prob only make one pass
at Cecil in April IF YOU EVEN SHOW UP

BTW
THATS ALL IT WILL TAKE.........

Power steering fluid?
Brake fluid?

Maybe that torque Monster WASP is causing the belt to slip on those WOT runs? Some S/C belt rubber getting on something hot?

Just suggestions...

Road Kill stuck in the grill, What's for dinner
