Had a close call yesterday
So I got my gears in and about 500 miles on them. I decided to take it on the freeway yesterday and see what it has off the line now. Everything was going good since I the traction light kept flashing.... I get up to about 80 when I let out of it and start dropping back to cruising speed. I check my mirror and smoke starts pouring out from under truck like there is a leaf fire. I get the brakes hard and pull to the berm and hop out. Trans fluid is pouring out by the bell housing. At this point I am pretty concerned and called AAA to get the truck home. I get under the truck and started to look for a hole in the case even though I didnt hear any sounds when it happened. I found the Pressure line for the cooler came out from the transmission and was the source of the leak. Now I am going to convert everything over to -AN braided line and hoping since I was on decel and stopped within 20 seconds of seeing smoke I didn't wipe out 3-4... Truck has about 30k on it so I will use this time to pull the pan and change the fluid and filter.

Quite a bit very fast but I am not sure on the amount. Im hoping that since I was slowing down so basically coasting when it started and then stopped asap I saved it.
