[QUOTE="Scott Tanner, post: 886243, member: 58759"] Well, at 158,000 miles of NY road salt, the trac has failed it's first system.. Momma and I were returning from the vintage car races at Watkins Glen NY, when I noticed after parking the RV in the driveway that a Puddle was forming under the trac... DOH!!! Granted, I knew the tranny lines were rusted, and they should be fixed, but hey... I'm a guy... Soooo here's what I found: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Here Is the fix, some 3/8 fuel line and a lot of compression fittings... [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [b][Broken External Image][/b]: Of course, everything under the truck has a nice coating of oil on it now... But wait, there's more..... :o Upon refilling the tranny with Mercon V, I noticed that the new fluid was finding it's way to the ground... WTF?? Evidently, the dipstick/fill tube is rotted out where it passes the exhaust manifold... Grrr. :angry: I think this has happened to another on the forum before... [/QUOTE]
