Joy,

After looking, the transmission I feel is shot. Fluid is brown and lost 
its original smell. Only have 27K on truck but have no tranny temp. 
gauge. The F350 is original as it came from Ford. (No chip or other 
changes) 

As I came up the mountain, I had no idea anything was wrong as the 
regular heat gauge never moved off normal. Saw smoke under hood, pulled 
over, and saw fluid coming from the filler spout. Had the transmission 
in drive as I came up the grade but it never  got out of low. The 
Excella has a weight of approx 8k and I have never had a problem before.

Oh well, I hope the Ford dealer is in a good mood when I go in Tuesday.
