MEGARAM Blew His Cool (er hose)!

[MEGARAM]

Last weekend pulling the race trailer down I-95 in the pooring down rain, MEGARAM quit pulling, just like I had shifted into neutral. Quickly moved into right lane and onto the side of the road. Shutdown motor. Looked under truck and saw transmission fliud covering driver side inner wheel well and small puddle forming under truck. Further investigation revealed transmission cooler line had blown off the connection tube (a real bugger to get to laying on your back under the truck in the middle of a rain storm). To make a long story short, the hose clamp had failed, releasing enough tension to allow the hose to pop off. I carry almost everything in the trailer, but for those road side emergency repair kits, you may want to add a couple small hose clamps 1"?, nut driver for clamp, flashlight, 6 - 8 qts transmission fluid, plenty rags, something to lay on and maybe a poncho! :>)
