Close Call!
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.
