hey guys
I've got a 2004 5.3l v8 1500 and heres my problem. last week I had a puddle of coolant under my truck. My surge tank was bone dry but the only leak I could actually see was one of my trans cooler lines was wet with tranny fluid. I needed my truck for something so I just took water and put into my surge tank to keep my truck from overheating. since then my coolant level hasn't moved (no leaks other than the wet trans line). I feel like I'm missing something here. I was going to change my trans and coolant fluids soon, but I'd rather know what I'm getting into as far as the leak. Anybody got any suggestions or opinions as to whats causing my problem?
