Hey guys, How can I drain some transmission fluid? It is above the full mark. Could this be another problem?

auto trans fluid is still full and dark red color.
radiator is still full, Still green in color.
I filled my oil back up with "8oz of No smoke" and the rest to the full mark with High Mileage Castrol 10w40.

She's blowing more smoke now, than before. White Smoke, I made 2 passes in the neighborhood and my wife was in the kitchen peeling some shrimp for my Bday dinner, I came back in. She said I looked like the mosqito man.

When i got home from work and before I even opened the hood on the truck, i stuck my finger in the exhaust tip and it came out black, It also smelled like it does when it runs.

What you guys think?

If u have stock Nikki carb they run rich,foul plugs and stop up ur catalytic converters.Sounds like all other Maz trucks with stock carbs.If ur plans dont call for a Weber carb swap anytime soon,here is a cheaper fix.Get a set of NGK plugs one heat range higher than stock.Gap the plugs at .035 instead of the stock .032.Set the time to 5 degrees before top dead center.That should lean the truck out enogh where ur mileage will improve and it should smell less as well.O and get a low restriction air filter like a Kand N.BJ

I just finished going thru with all this. I would assume its rings or seals for sure. Do a compression test. Also do yourself a favor and save the money of doing like 8 oil changes like I tried lol.

Compression tests are pretty cheap and easy to do; plus you can always take it back after you use it lol.

I'll dig up some of the threads diagnosing my problems and it may help.

Thanks Guys, I might buy a compression tester just to have one now. I just made a video with my wifes camera, But it didnt have sound and the lighting in the garage did not produce the picture quality all that great. But it is deff white smoke.

When the head gasket goes doesnt the idle start to hesitate alil? I feel alil hestate tonight while idling.
