Re: 2 for 1, My son's first Square Build

Well we are not having good luck with the truck. Korbin was driving it the other day and the trans seems to be slipping and not shifting into 3rd. The convertor locks up, but did not unlock it seemed when he thought it should have. He checked the fluid, it was low so he added enough to fill it up. Drove it again and still did not seem right. he checked the fluid again today and it was not even on the dip stick. He does not see any signs of a leak under or on the underside of the truck. If he needed to add fluid, where did it go? I verified it was at the full mark a couple of weeks ago so I know that it was OK then and we have driven it quite abit since then. It does not make sense to me we needed to add more fluid without any signs of leaks. Where would the fluid go??

Korbin is not happy with the truck now and it is not what he thought it would be. I am out of town and he is having to deal with these issues on his own with only me texting him back and forth. I know we have had to make some exceptions and postpone some aspects of the truck, but we will get it to the point he wants, it is just is going to take some time to get there. These trans issues are not helping anything and the engine has what sounds like a lifter tick that comes and goes. Its just little things that make him not happy about what he has at this point. His local peers around here for the most part don't help him and raz him about having an older lowered truck. I hope he can get thru this...
