Awesome! I want to see some good first gen shots!
Mine is pouting in its parking spot. But all the other trucks get to go play, why can't I? I've been good!

What failed?
Something in the front of the trans. Tearing into it after the bbq. It should be nice and cooled by then. It was gushing fluid out.
Gushing trans fluid?
Bummer. 
Yeah trans fluid all over. Really hot trans fluid.
Getting after it now. Hope its not toooo bad
What's the verdict?
Anyone bored with a couple floor Jacks or a transmission jack? We pulled the tc yesterday but that's as far as we have made it.
Pulled the converter last night and with only 300 miles the seal surface has some real wear. I wonder what your thoughts are on it. Would this cause it puke all the fluid out?
I have a new seal and fluid. I could just replace it and put it back together then cross my fingers. I might see if there's a new converter in or good used in that I could throw in.

Was the converter recently swapped in?
I recall that there are 2 distinct "seating" steps when you load and turn the converter to the rear of the tranny. If you don't get that 2nd one it puts a lot of pressure on the rear pump and can wipe it out.
Sorry, that's about the only thing I can offer for help / diagnostics.
Good Luck!!!

It was a new converter with the trans rebuild. I got it seated properly, with a quart in it before install.Was the converter recently swapped in?

On a scale of 1 - trailering it home, how screwed am I?
Went out to Fruita this morning and got a uhaul trailer. Just made it back to salt lake and even though I broke Blazer Bash was a ton of fun. It was great to put faces to names and generosity of everyone that stepped in to help.
Did @Babaganoosh come near it at any time???
