for possible trans leak. I noticed two bolts while doing my cut out a month ago, that had red trans fluid on them. i wiped them off and when i did my oil yesterday i noticed they were wet again.

i tried to tighten them but there tight, ive put cardboard down in the drive way but theres never a spot, nor am i ever low on trans fluid (checked once a week).

im just worried if they will say anything about my cutout, (i have the magnuson moss act and the FTC (federal trade commision) approval notice of it. I just dont feel like dealing with it

my passed MO inspection with my cutout on it. At the dealer. ;)

I put the remote in my pocket, had it closed, etc. Guy said they could fail it, IF they could find it was working. Couldn't see how it opened, so they passed it. Cool.

Of course, when I pulled it out, I opened it. :D:D

A few months after I got my truck I noticed that the trans pan was wet in some areas so I took it in and they dropped the pan and resealed it and its been fine ever since.

good thing about your exhaust being a non-issue. too bad about the 2012 seals- I have one too. hope it stays dry.

just picked the truck up from the dealer, it took them close to for hours, and i guess it wasnt the trans but the transfer case seals.

here is the dealer print out
