Update: Found out today it was the Torque convertor that failed. It cracked that the snout causing fluid loss. I called monster transmissions for a new one. Looks like the reason why mine failed was because there was no extra reinforcement around the snout. The monster ones comes with reinforcement made for high torque applications, which i have, and 1350 stall. So hopefully I can get this truck back together again soon.

Good New BD, I was hoping that is what it was. I did get your PM, I apoligize I forgot to get back to it last night. Been buys as hell with the new job. The only other thing as you asked to check on, is the go ahead and put a new front seal in anyway. NO telling what damage that bad converter did to that seal, and for the insurance of a $5 seal, Nike shoes brutha, JUST DO IT !!!

10-4 man. I plan on putting that new seal in. I think i am gonna order the TC from monster transmissions. They seem like a really passionate company.
