07 F150 5.4 2wd won't be home for Christmas...
I'm in Florida and just got the call from my brother heading for his daughters
place in Ohio for Christmas. Seems he experienced a catastrophic transmission failure on the West Virginia Turnpike and thinks he will probably get towed to Charleston.
Here,s what I know. No issues till he noticed large cloud of white smoke following him.... Pulled off then backed up some to see the tell-tale trail
of pink fluid on the ground. Seems to be coming from converter/bellhousing
area. Sucks to break on Sunday,far from home. I'm not thinking quick fix,thought pump failure BUT it still moves under power. Still sounds like a
major deal. Anybody have a line on a decent shop in the Charleston WV area?

Popped the inspection plug in the bottom of the bellhousing and got nearly a
quart of trans fluid... Left it at a garage and got a rental Chevy to get the rest of the way home...Lol

Could be a busted trans line to the cooler.
