my brother bought a new tranny for his silverado, took it for a joy ride, he hammered it, and the smoke show began, all out the *** end, then came the flames, popped the hood and there was fluid everywhere, he had blown alot of tranny fluid out the dipstick...

Sorry to hear about that man, I don't go anywhere without an extinguisher now because my truck has been on fire 3 times, lol.

I don't have any suggestions other than what everyone else has already said. I'd look by the headers, check the dipstick, and check to make sure that even though you got the clamps on the lines tight that there's not still fluid leaking out somewhere on those lines. Those barbed hard lines are not designed to seal up to a rubber hose.

Nope I'm just trying to get the thing diagnosed first. I'm going to buy them hopefully within the next couple days along with my turbo lines.

yeah, getting it all together should save you some shipping... and FYI, the turbo feed line is just a -4 5' nitrous line.. premade ends = cheaper... the drain seems to be where I've got the most cash wrapped up

but so far, 300+ miles and not a single drop from any of it... I'm very happy with it having no leaks whatsoever, not even a tiny seep...
