I drove the truck for 10 min and when I parked it noticed tranny fluid on the ground bout 1/2 a quart and when I patched the problem w some rubber hose and clamps only to find out My engine will not turn over I have a brand new starter and battery and when I hit the key it will not turn over... It will roll back and forth in neutral... and I'm stuck

False alarm I found the problem one of the ground wires was loose on the side of the block...

So what's up with the tranny leak? Where did that come from because a half quart is kinda a big deal lol.

the line comes from the radiator and passes thru the crossmember by the oil pan and just rubbed it raw but I got the skin tight rubber hose and some ky haha to get the hose down the line to the spot and bout 6 or 8 clamps and no more leaky... And checked with a piece of cardboard the last 3 times I drove it

Glad you got it fixed. At first that sounded like a really scary problem because I was thinking that the transmission was froze and would not let the engine turn over. That leak from the cooling lines can happen a lot on older trucks and I am glad that you found and fixed it before you damaged your transmission. Good luck and keep truckin
