On my way to work this morning, 6am in the rain! My truck loses power, engine running just now go! My first thought was, the tranny is GONE!!! So i limped it to a well lit parking lot and got out to see how bad it was. As soon as I opened the door I could smell burning trans fluid, before I could get the hood up I saw the best thing I could hope for. A big puddle of trans fluid under front left bumper. I lift the hood and sure enough a trans cooler line had busted! Needless to say it made a big ole mess pumping out in front of that tire and getting sprayed down the whole passenger side. So tonight after work I have to replace the line, and fill her back up. Then a major cleaning!!

You gotta love Mondays!!

 

Was it still storming up near you too then?

 

ah bummer man!! i know how you feel. back in the summer i was drivin down the road and the TCM fuse blew which left the tranny in 3rd gear. I was pullin a 7k lb trailer so the next time i stopped i couldnt start again.

 

that sucks, lucky it wasn't the trans though

 

It was the tailend of the rain, sun came out about 8:30.

Yeah I hear ya AF, I was freaking out when the engine just revved and had nothing, I just new it had blew all to pcs!

 

Whew! good thing it wasnt anything too serious.
yeah that rain was intense. a couple creeks around mathews and charlotte were way up over their banks.

 

IM sure most of the roads here were floaded over. We have problems with that. You think with all the hurricanes and storms they fix that.

 

Yeah here to! The rivers wont crest til later, still running off the mountains!

 

speaking of bad weather, the highway patrol just shut down all the highways in the area due to blizzard white out conditions

 

You can have your blizzards.
