42rl or 42rle trans. I think there are two different ones.
Anyway, I'm cruising down the highway today and it looks like the trans puked a bunch of fluid out the dipstick. A big cloud of smoke from hitting the engine, and while it was happening it seemed like it was down shifting or trying to at least. I pulled off to the side saw where it was coming from and limped it to the next exit. It was able to shift and run all the way to about 50 but it didn't want to go any further than that and I didn't want to push it. Got it to work, right off that exit, and just went to check the level. Well I'm a dumbass and left my lights on so my battery is dead. But cold not running the fluid is clean,red and above the full hot line, but that is not running.
The cooler lines look ok bit I'm kinda leaning towards a plugged line or cooler. What are your thoughts?
