[QUOTE="David Schmidt, post: 1025548, member: 57602"] I think the tranny is ok..needs fluid for sure. I think the tranny fluid leaked into the radiator and not the reverse or at least minimum. I drive short distances and has been shifting fine until a day or two ago when I noticed some slipping due to the low fluid level. I drained what I could and put a new filter in. Will fill up tomorrow. The tranny oil was sitting in the top of the radiator and in the resavoir. When I drained the tranny if was all green coolant for a while and then the pink milkshake started. I also got a new radiator - I'm pretty its the problem. Its a Spectra from AutoZone (old and new one). Not even 3 years old but lifetime warranty for $165 dollars. I can't believe it leaked tranny fluid into the coolant. I know the tranny goes into the left side of radiator but for it to connect the two fluids in a failure and do that baffles me. Totally ridiculous and can totally ruin a perfectly good truck. [/QUOTE]
