Re: Lurker OrrieG Progress Pics

Just a post to let everyone know I did not die, just had a pretty good work opportunity to make up for 2010-15 and been putting in long hours all year. Did want to comment that the previous pic of the trans cooler does not show the hoses. I installed them from the cooler directly to the trans inlet and outlet locations. The cooler sits higher than the the trans. Mid summer I got the new carb on and truck running and topped off the trans fluid with it running and warm. A couple of days later I came out to a big puddle of fluid under the truck. Checked the level and it was ok. Investigation shows it leaked from around the filler tube area. I think what happened is the cooler and line drained back into the tranny filling it above the tube. I am going to redo the rubber connection lines with bow up above the cooler which should solve the problem.
