Okay, so I had to split this manual down into 3 parts to make it fit the upload requirements for the site. Sorry it has to be that way. You can easily assemble it into one 33mb file using Acrobat.

Welcome to the Outfit!
Looks like @M813rc beat me to the recommendation to read up on the TM's (Technical Manuals. Those old crusty books will walk you through step-by-step troubleshooting. Well worth downloading and cruising through them.
What about some pictures? Create yourself a new...

Wow! That self adjuster is like a mini version of drum brakes on a car.
Really neat way of keeping the band in adjustment...

Hope they get you fixed up!

Don't hesitate to use the books... They can be useful.
Picture us up with a few more. Doesn't matter what it looks like, just a few more?
Welcome again to the group...

I would guess maybe? On filling the transmission. Might even be worth getting it onto flat ground later and pull the filler plug and check it. Low is better than too high (fill level).
I hate to say I don't really know about synthetic oils. What you said makes sense though. I do know...

So, I am just fishin here but you shouldn't have gear oil flowing out of the filler port. I mean oil will swell a little when it gets warm - but not like the stream you have pouring out of the filler port. I am also a little concerned that your "Oil after 8 Months" looks so black. Maybe if...

Welcome to the Outfit!
Looks like you have a pretty good looking rig. Definitely nice that you have already downloaded the TM's and started going through them... Yep, everything gets drained. Every gearbox gets drained and some of them get the plugs put back in them - and others don't. No...

Welcome to the Outfit!
I suggest that you go download the TM's for your truck.

NAPA or your friendly neighborhood parts house.
Just BE SURE that you get DOT 5 (Not DOT 5.1).
I would get several quarts. You can always return it if the seal isn't broken.

Squeeze it. Does it "give" or not? Is it warm? You might also feel a "surge" when the thermostat opens and slams back shut when a little water passes through the hose...
