Default Deeply sorry... but another tranny question...

To start off I have a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport 5.9 L 4x4

Well i just recently installed a new tranny level 2 viper which came with a new torque converter. After we installed it, we drove it around the block a couple of times... seemed fine... came back to the shop and parked it. After we decided to go home... which was about 30 minutes after i parked my truck.....i started my rig up.. and put it into gear... the truck does not move... i tried reversing... didnt move either... hmm so i get out and guess what.. a tranny leak... dont know where its coming from yet... but.... the ATF is burnt... we have no idea what went wrong so please... anyone with ideas.... on what to look for... by the way .. i live in a small town with no mechanic shopor a way out of the town.... it sucks... BUT i need my truck to start working...

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE....

Did you flush out the lines and cooler when you put the new tranmission into the truck? What happened to the old tranmission, because you could have a trash in the line that contaminated the fluid and killed the new transmission.

Yes, we flushed the lines and cooler. The old transmission had been rebuilt twice. I been having transmission problems ever since the first one went out...
