fishy smell
The other night, i was driving 4X4 on the beach when i got stuck. After a while of trying to get out, i heard a sound under the hood that sounded like boiling. Then smoke came out and under the passenger side of the car in the front there was a small flame but i couldnt see where it was coming from. After i put it out and waited a while, it smelled like transmission fluid but that went away and it seems to be running fine. Now there is a fishy smell that i thought was antifreeze but im not sure if it is transmisson fluid. Also, after getting it off the beach and driving home, my O/D off light flashed which i know is transmisson problems. But it stopped. Now the fishy smell remains. Any suggestions as to what its going on? Thanks, Dan

RE: fishy smell
Will Dan,
I think you heated up the exhaust pretty good. Maybe 4X4ing out there you picked something on the exhaust, then cooked it. I'd take a close look under the truck, see if you find something (trash or plant, whatever). Good luck
