If the truck sits for more than 4 days, upon starting, tranny fluid is blown out the dipstick tube. If the truck is started every day or even every other day, no problem. That has me confused.
Now to add misery, just recently, after driving several miles, I have tranny fluid being pumped out the dipstick tube intermittently while cruising down the highway.
Not certain at all what my problem is. Should have used that 4-speed instead, me thinks.
Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions?? | | |

Could also be internal seal problems too.CHeck the easy first.
There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I was wondering if the modulator has anything to do with this problem. | | |

I once rebuilt an engine thinking I had blown a ring.
