Well I drove the truck over to a friends shop and he drove it. Said he thought the knock senor was a rattle somewhere. So I drove over to the muffler shop where we put it on his rack and checked everything good. Couldn't find anything obvious. I did see where the transmission line was touching the side of the flywheel casing so I got home and jacked it up and cut some rubber hose to isulate it. So I head to work and about half way to work I look in the mirror and smoke is blowing out from the truck. I first think it's the rubber hose got incontact with the header then think no way. So I pull over and the transmission is pumping all the fluid to the ground. Well the truck is so low I can't get under it far enough to see.
Anyway I call the tow truck and we start putting on the rollback and I asked if he would stop and let me look, the transmission line is blowed out and it's just hanging there it has the clip and rubber cover for it with a o-ring. No clip in the side of the transimssion and the rubber ring is up on the line. Get to the shop put a new clip in it and filler up with fluid and she is all good so far. ;):chevy:

Nothing like some 225* transmission fluid spraying down the road lol
I would have hated to be a motorcyclist behind ya.

Funny thing is a friend of mine came by going the other direction on his bike. He waited with me until the rollback showed up. It was on a back road in the country so not much traffic. He said the same thing...glad he wasn't behind me.;):chevy:

damn, glad that didnt spray onto a hot header.

Any chance of that happening again? I was always worried about that with my standard rubber line/hose clamp so I ended up switching over to AN fittings on my transmission.

It did spray onto the header collector and luckly it didn't catch fire. I have a extinguser on board though! This was the hard line going into the trans itself. I guess you could swap them out.;):chevy:
