Think the smoke has been figured out
Thinking back to the transmission fluid change, when draining the fluid some got onto the cat right by the plug, and the heat shield and everything in that general area. For now I am assuming that the smoke was just the remaining fluid burning off. I hadn't been driving hard at all before gettin home, so there's no reason for it to heat up like that. The radiator is fine, I'm sure, after running up to 800 miles around 80 MPH stopping only for gas and having the temperature guage remain just below the halfway point on the temperature guage. I also have a secondary cooler. I'm not real concerned about the heat right now. I think I may have made a premature complaint...I'll have to report back after I drive some more to see if the smoking stops.
Thanks, though. If things don't stop smoking I'll definately take into account what you've said...I don't want you to think I've completely dismissed what you've said.
