Re: so my truck caught on fire
I know that towing in Overdrive will overheat a 700R4 and make it puke fluid and catch fire. Saw a couple of those. The only other reason for a tranny to overheat would be brake drag or radiator/pump problems. How often did you use your E-brake? Up here in Michigan you don't want to use the E-brake unless its used regularly due to cable sticking leaving the brake still engaged. Most manual trans will be fine but autos I don't use them. Of course I would attempt to use in an actual emergency.
