New BTS only Tranny Fluid Odor - No leaks seen, no drips on driveway
Just returned from BTS in Arkansas... 1250 miles one way. Tranny and cooler ... Only one question is that after 1250 mile drive home I still catch a whiff of Tranny fluid... The odor was prevalent in Brian's Truck Shop (BTS) as you might imagine. That evening at the cabin the odor was prevalent with the truck sitting. No leaks, I crawled under and checked - everything looks very professional. The odor is still there and you catch a whiff in the cab,....upon arrival my son noticed. I called Brian and he had no ideas. I think there must be some spillage around the cooler as the lines were vented; I watched and there was definitely a good vent effort of those lines during tranny filling. I would think that 1250 miles of highway driving would have burned off any spillage - and I as I stated it has gotten noticably better or perhaps I was use to it.
The fluid level looks perfect just a notch above the H! And the truck is good and hot as I just drove in from Eastern NM.
