Unknown Gunk in Engine Coolant
The Truck runs perfect The oil on the dipstick looks fine it isnt milky but my Transmission fluid has disappeared
The old owner I went to church with and the radiator went bad so he let it sit for two years and then he put a new radiator and transmission cooler on it and when he went to crank it after that two freeze plugs blew so he let it sit for another two years until his wife made him sell it
Is it possible he got the trans cooler lines mixed up with the radiator lines??

If the truck turns out to be a runner as is, all those fluids should be changed after sitting for years anyway.

Problem Solved!!
It Turned out to be a Crack in the radiator and when pressure would build up
Transmission fluid would squirt in through the crack.
so if anyone else has this problem this is possible solution to you also!

If there's any chance whatsoever that coolant could have gotten into the tranny fluid you should completely drain flush and refill your tranny. A little bit of coolant in there will cause your clutch plates to delam and you're looking at a rebuild.
I wouldn't even take the chance, I'd have the whole thing flushed immediately. Transmissions are very, very expensive.
