Dodged a bullet

I think I might have to go and pick up some lotto tickets,
My trans started leaking fluid so I assumed the worse and thought it was the front pump seal, After changing out my u-joints, thermostat and valve cover gaskets I was going to tackle the trans,
I was unable to budge the bolts so it was going to go to the shop. I looked one more time to verify where the fluid was coming from and it was the pressure line going to the radiator. Easy fix!!!! and I saved myself a few hundred bucks!

u-joints... so like if you dont get the clip to seat, like they will work their way out and then like ruin a lucky day.

Good thing I can get under the truck and fix it in the parking lot to which I had to park her......
