    Dude that will be a sweet truck either way you go. Keep it for yourself or flip it. Once the trans is figured out and a good cleaning, she will up and going again.

    It's possible you overfilled the transmission if you checked and added level in park. Those Chrysler transmissions usually need to be checked in neutral.

      It won't even go into gear anymore im over here scratching my head. It'll show empty and if I put a quart in it check levels, looks good put it in gear, and boom it drains the fluid by spraying out of the dipstick again.

    Get thee to a parking place! If you examine the dipstick it will tell you what conditions to meet for measuring the fluid. Amazing that the wheels will both roll and be braked! Go through the carb no matter what you think. And the radiator bubbles; purging of air or exhaust gases?

    That is wild!! I've never seen a transmission do that, but I don't make a living as a mechanic either. Even if you have to rebuild or replace the transmission for $500 bucks you got a steal of a deal on that rig.

    • @somewhatfast

      Never seen it my self, and that is true. To rebuild the trans and a new converter is only $800. Im currently looking for a used one though before.

      I can't even check it, it blows all the fluid out even when cold and if I add any at all it immediately blows it back out. Very strange, check out the picture I just posted I just dropped the pan tonight.

    Look at the color of what puked out of the radiator. You definitely have trans fluid leaking into your cooling system. Still doesn't explain why it's puking out the dipstick, though, unless you really overfilled it, but as you said, you had and then lost all gears. Weird.

    Bang on it with a ranch if it's flooding I will loosen the needle and seat in the carburetor and stop the flooding issue for a temporary fix and also remember that those trucks had that screw initial module up there on the firewall that always goes out but what you can do and there's several videos on this is you can fire it off AGMA initial module you just have to make a little white come out to the GMA initial Michael 2 and there are several videos on how to wire it up that is the best way and outright to cheapest way to fix it because I didn't miss him my huddle from eighties seventies to eighties GM HIM actual fires a lot And more than that little Box and those trucks did as far as hot spark
