OrangeCrush is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Seriously...wtf???

Remember a few weeks ago I posted about a line coming off my trans and dumping tranny fluid everywhere in the middle of nowhere?

And then after I managed to fix it on the side of the road, I only got to drive it an hour before I lost 3-4th gear.

Soooo, it took me 24 hours driving straight from Tampa to Palm Beach to Charlotte at 60 mph in 2nd gear.

When I got back, I had the tranny rebuilt.

They had to take it out 3 different times to get it right (turns out a bad servo or solenoid in the pump)

So everything is cool, right? Saturday I drive the truck to my inlaws 3 hours from here to borrow their enclosed trailer. I make it back about an hour and smoke JUST POURS OUT EVERYWHERE... aahhhh, wtf?

I pull over and the tranny line to the radiator got a split in it.

Fortunately, I had my life saving leatherman and was able to cut the hose back by 4" and reinstall it.

Today, I'm installing something MUCH MORE SECURE!!

This sucks.
