About twenty miles east of San Antonio...no one called in that we have grand children out in the heat...but a good Samaritan called 911 about our 2 dogs in a cage...said they might be over heating...they were hot but in the shade with cool water to drink and cool down with...still going to make it to Garner State Park...but am wondering how much on the tranny fix...was blowing and going pulling my RV in overdrive saving on fuel but is going to cost me lots...blew a hose or the front seal on my transmission...right now waiting on brotherinlaw to drop off his RV and come back to pick us up as well as our RV...making the best of our vacation...going to be alright...

Thanks...I appreciate the prayers and thoughts...I am going to gamble and see about only replacing the seals and the fluid and then adding a quart of lucas...it was shifting fine when I pulled over...but the fluid was smoking hot...will get advice from mechanic back home first before making that call...

I hope you get to enjoy the rest of your vacation. This is the first year we didn't go to Garner for a week. We always get a cabin outside of the park, but spend a lot of time there. When I retire I would love to move to Gods Country.

Thanks Justin...there is hope...I was telling my brother that all was fine oil pressure and temperature was fine and the tranny was smoking hot like it was starving for coolant...like engineering screwed up...my brother calls this morning and tells me he thinks the fluid got hot and boiled over...I googled it and it went straight to my year model truck and it said the same thing...I told mechanic to drain torque converter and replace filter and fluid and add a quart of Lucas...mechanic agrees...hope that is the problem...the fix according to what I read is to add a transmission cooler...

U mean a 3500 did not come factory with trans cooler. All trucks that are going to be pulling a load need a trans cooler. My half ton trucks have them.
