This is why you need to stop for bathroom breaks, now its peed all over itself.

I was in a suit and tie at the time, so I was unable to get underneath and look closely.
It appears to have been puking tranny fluid from the cooler area.
Hose or tank?...unknown at this point......catastrophic failure ether way.
Will find out more Monday.
By the way.....brakes do not work very well when bathed in trans fluid.

What size tires are you running and do you have spacers?

Well, it turns out the tech did not properly secure one of the trans lines.
Around town, it was fine.
However, once I got on the Dallas North Tollway, pressure on the line got high enough to blow off the hose.
Sewell took care of the tow, new line, clip, brakes, detail (truck was covered in fluid) and an XT5 loaner for the duration.
The tranny itself was fine.
Luckily the distance traveled after the point of failure was short, so it was not like I ran it without fluid for miles.
As you can see in the pic, most of the puking took place after I stopped.
I understand missing ****....I have done it myself....but I am NOT a ****ING PROFESSIONAL like these guys are supposed to be.
As bad as it was, it could have been waaaay worse.

Those are 12.50 X 35 Goodyears .... No spacers....Not sure what the wheel specs are but if you need them I can look them up.

FYI: Transmission line pressures run up to ~120 psi and more. You definitely want those lines securely tightened down.

Great happy to hear
Negative on the braided hose.
Had I the time and a few bucks extra, I would replace everything I could with braided.
I'd also go with an aluminum radiator and external tans cooler (in the master plan but never got around to it).
