Great only 7? Just weird that it is intermittent and once I get to flat ground it does it.

Tried to find you on fb and couldn't for some reason..

once it does this in the morning will it do it again through out the day? you can also check for drainback by leaving it sit overnight and in the morning pull the stick before starting the engine and note how far up past the full mark the fluid is. should be less than an inch. If more you are having drainback issues. Most of the time this i from too much clearence between converter hub and bushing.

Don't know why you would be having problems with Facebook. May try cap O and cap M

How has truck been acting? If still giving you fits you might try parking it in that spot backwards for shits and giggles. After seeing where it is parked if you put the nose down hill you will find out if it is a drain back problem or something else.

If its a drain back thing how do you fix it? Happened again yesterday but it was nose first. I sometimes park nose down but just a pain to get it in there that way lol.

Short of pulling transmission and replacing front pump bushing and maybe torque conveter if hub is bad. They make a one way valve that you put in the cooler line going from the transmission to the cooler.

Your a little far haha

Is their anything that I could have done to start this when I did the fluid and filter change?
Guy at the autozone was saying maybe when I changed it the old fluid had things plugged up in areas that was keeping it working normal now with new fluid its showing theirs a problem

Yeah,but that would be one hell of a test drive back!LOL
What did the old fluid look like when you changed it? debris on magnet,pan?
Why did you change fluid in the first place? Just trying to figure this one out.

Did it look anything like this?

Fluid was dark and smelled like a cow farm lol don't know why I get that in my head but I grew up around farms...changed because had just got the truck so with no history you know change everything. Was anything in it just black, for sure not like that pic!
Thought I had took a pic but all I have is this and one after I put a coat of black paint over it lol
