Hi everyone this is my first post and this is my first Silverado.

So I was pulling an empty car trailer on the highway when I saw some smoke coming from my truck, followed by by it revving to the moon without grabbing. I got a alert saying trans temp has hot. I pulled over and noticed it was dripping trans fluid. After looking underneath I noticed what looks like a breather tube on top of the trans. This seems to be where the fluid is coming out from but I'm not sure yet. The trans seems to grab the gears under 1k for a little bit then it just slips entirely like being in neutral.

I'm in formiliar with this truck and before I have someone take a look I'd like to hear what you guys think it could be.

Side note right before I got the truck (2000k miles ago) the previous owner said "new trans" just installed.

Could I have just blown a trans line?

Vaccum line?

Any reply is appreciated

Time for a competent trans shop to look it over. It's puking fluid because it's overheated and fluid expanded

Or if you're lucky (?) a leak (coolant line?).

Is your fluid burnt?

I assume you checked your fluid level and found it low...
