Vince, I'm looking forward to getting one of your Level 5's in a couple of months, I've driven tdrumm's truck with his FLT trans and it's solid 
Going to go with a new Yank TT3000 tc.
Any idea what happened? I'm guessing that the torque converter took a dump and blew chunks throughout the trans? Then I revved the snot out of it to limp to a parking lot, and spun the **** out of the pump, raising the pressure and blowing the line off, and later blowing the dipstick out of the tube once the line was ultra-tightened on. I could be waaaay off, this is just my guess. Whatever happened, the truck is idle for a while.
The other hypothesis is that the line blew off first, pumped the fluid out of it causing it to slip like crazy and smoking the clutches.

Not as cheap as everyone says.

Wow Billy! I got your pm but you didn't mention the injector part too. I would have grabbed that sucker by the tail and flung it against a tree.
Too bad this happened tight before winter, or else I'd lend you the Grand Prix to get around in.
I remember how bummed I was when my trans went, and then the truck sat for almost a year until I could afford a new one. Keep your chin up!
