Bad news I was just about to get the truck shipped. Got a call from my friend who had the truck and he said it wont reverse, the truck only moves forward.
So I told him to tow it to the shop for more diagnoses. The shop owner first step was to drain the oil and there was nothing.
He took the pan off and it smelled badly so obviously the clutches is gone.
I added 6 quarts because I was told that he added that same amount before me so I don't know what to say.
I am not really familiar with transmissions and processes it take to build one.
What do guys think I should expect besides the clutches that could of been toasted in that kind of situation?

Well guys Its been a long way but its done.
I drove that thing to Tx2k13 but my 2nd transmission went out again in Dallas.I like to Thank Jake Transmission for helping me out. What an awesome guy. I didn't even know him before this but he still worked on the truck alone from 7 p.m till 12:30 @ midnight and got me back on the road to head to Houston.
Anyhow yesterday got the truck tuned @ SteveMorris.
Running on 93 so I told him to stay safe for now until I get the c-16 tank fixed. The tank vent is plugged and I need get Holley boost controller.
Boost starts to come in @ 3K by 4k full boost. The cam is kind of holding me back a bit spinning 6500 for now.
