Default Possibly the worst 4L60e carnage ever??

A friend of mine called me the other day and asked if he could park his truck by my shop, I asked him "sure, but why?". He says, "my tranny is shot, it wont take any gears". Well I didn't think much of it, He's a teenager and he's hard on stuff, So it came as no surprise to me. Well last night I decided to look underneath the truck Because he said it was leaking a lot of oil, And this is what I saw:

So he drove over an I.E.D?

Seriously, that is pretty nasty. Did you tell him he can't ramp his car over retaining walls?

Never seen one that bad before. Wonder what he did to do that much damage?

This was my first thought also. Red line it and throw her in drive.


I remember kids in high school doing this cause it was the only way they could get their rig too break the tires loose
