What did you do to your car/truck today?

My Chevy Silverado 2500HD is the largest truck I have ever owned. I thought that the rough ride just came natural do to the heavy duty springs and shocks. So I have noticed my transmission leak getting worst. I decided to crawl under the truck again. This time not for the exhaust. I wanted to try and find the leak. Well, I reached up and grabbed my drive shaft to pull myself under. That is when I noticed the rear tranny mount is torn and separated. I just hope it has not destroyed my seal. :(

4wd? If you have stuff loose under there, check everything. Your transmission to transfer case mating bolts could be leaking and loosing your fluid. Transmission fluid will ignite fairly easy.

I don't know how easy it ignites, but I caught my race car on fire twice with broken tranny lines spraying on the headers, and a ford windstar I drove at the rev limiter from anchorage to soldotna in an hour 45 ( about 170 miles) until the front seal spewed crackling tranny fluid on my exhaust....poof.... so I worked at it.....but that stuff will catch fire.
