  5. Spending money on your truck is not always fun. Shesh, new tires are on the way.

  6. Well, good news today. Took my truck to the trans shop, slipping the whole way there. Fluid was really low. Had the tranny serviced (new fluid/filter). There were no metal shaving or anything bad in the pan, fluid was clean also. No idea where the fluid went. The underside of the truck is bone dry but as of right now, a new tranny is not needed :)

      You've got to trust sombody, right?

       

      Probably the most logical thing to do at this point is just drive it and keep an eye on the tranny level.

      Man; You've got a mystery on your hands. Are you sure that it was filled properly in the recent past? (Don't know if you just got the truck and hadn't filled it yourself).

      If it was burning of you would smell it on the dipstick. Sorry that I don't have a good answer for you. I remember a post not too long ago where a guy who sounded like he knew a little bit about it said that there is a gasket or seal at the tail end of the trans that can go bad and allow trns fluid to leak into the transfer case. Might be worth checking you T-case fluid to see if you see any evidence of trans fluid there. Good luck with it.

      Don't mean to bust your ball$ but; There's a lesson in that. Check your fluids regularly. Trans fluid doesn't leave without a reason. It's gotta be going somewhere. What does "Really low" mean? Was it still on the dipstick? Does it smell burnt?

  17. why am i having thoughts of selling my SS for a C6 corvette?? I just dont know if i can let her go already!

    1. Downeast Johnny

      Downeast Johnny

      I think that it's human nature. A car or truck can't satisfy for more than X amount of time. A C6 would probably help you forget the truck after a while.
