I blew a trans line off my truck last tuesday on the way home from class made for a heck of a smoke show but as soon as it happened I got over and killed it everything seems fine so far. Ya that squirrel would have been all I could have taken.

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.

When I lost my pump last week I lost all forward and reverse; just stopped going. I had park and 5 neutrals, lol. I had to take the ride of shame on the rollback

Not as cheap as everyone says. 
Anyways, just browsing car-part, I found a 2005 4l80e with 555 miles on it for $1000. What are typical prices for used 80es?

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!
