Trans. Wtf

Long story short. First problem I had a ton of weight in bed. Trans boiled over after bout 30 min drive. Then I topped off fluid

And next drive it ran fine about 20 min then i shut it off n wouldn't go into gear for Bout 15 min. Then was dine

then 20 min drive it boiled over again. I let cool over night it was fine.

Flushed fluid completely re filled. N drove about 30 min to work fine then as soon as I shut it off it started pissing out like a mother ****er.

This all coming out of the vent on top of trans

The trans should hold 13.5 when drained! that includes the TC and about 5 quarts when the pan is dropped. It is starting to sound like you have blown a piston o ring and its causing a bad slippage condition making the fluid over heat.
