well i havent moved the truck sence this morning

i bet its low on fluid so ima buy some in a little and hope i can just
drive it for a little.... Im goin to price out a MonsterBox and see what
prices i can get for a rebuild...

if its blown... Im going blown/turbo or superchager after this because then i can

just really dident want to spend money

but then again the worst thing i hated about my truck was how it shifts..

i hate sloppy shiftying

O ya the thing i feel about the fluid is something broke... Because there is fluid all over the transmission.. but not on the trans pan

If it's overfilled it is going to come out of the vent cap, which is on top of the trans.

ssj4shane. I changed a polyurathan(SP) gasket that goes into the trans. front drive shaft gasket. On my truck it would only leak when I was driving on the mountains. But it did leak trans oil on the tranny. You mite want to check it out. Good luck Ben
