Truck goes up in a ball of fire...........

......not really.........but I was about to do it earlier today. Coming home from Christmas at my grandparents one of the hose patches I had put on my tranny lines for a temporary band-aid until it could be fixed properly, spilt apart. All the fluid drained out in a matter of a few seconds and the trans. went all to hell. Well I put a new hose patch on (thank god O'Riellys was open) filled it full of fluid and started out again. No such luck, wouldn't shift past 2nd. So it's sitting at a relatives house right now until I deciede wether or not to throw some gas on it and watch it burn, get another auto rebuild, or convert it to a 6 spd.

PS: you may send condolenses and a small monatary gift towards the resurection if you so wish.
