Just curious but do you have a transmission temp gauge? That amount of fluid loss more than likely caused some damage, not to mention how hot it might have been running for how long the coolant line was pinched, not allowing proper cooling. Hopefully it is just a simple issue but more than likely it is gone.

That was my first concern

Its most likely toast. Have a reputable transmission shop look it over.

Yep toasted 3rd gear. :(:fume::frustration:

That sucks. :(
But I honestly know the feeling. I had to get mine rebuilt in October. The spider gears in my rear end seized up while I was accelerating and it ended up destroying the transmission once the drive shaft locked up. It was a $2400 repair but I was able to talk the shop owner down to an even $2000 for the transmission and the spider gears. But on the bright side I now have a forged sun shell and several other hard parts that were broken. The internals actually weren't worn much at all, I could have probably gone another 100k miles had the spider gears not stripped and seized up. :dunno:

Now in Scott,LA
3/4 clutch pack maybe gone then. Pull the electrical connections and see if the truck moves.
This should default the transmission to start in 3rd.
