As for the amount of fluid in the case, I filled the tranny until it was overflowing and I had to take the tube out quickly and put that nut on it all while the hot transmission fluid was burning my hand. What a lame process.
This has been a very very frustrating ordeal indeed. Somthing as simple as a tranny drain/fill has turned into a freakn' nightmare.  |

If you got the transmission that hot that it was burning your hand then the trans was too HOT. If I was to do the trans drain and fill I would drain the trans the day before, let it sit over night and fill it the next day after running the engine for about 5 minutes.
Remember High School Physic things expand when they are heated. So if the ATF in the trans was that hot it has already expanded that you actually refill with less ATF so you are LOW on ATF.
Also what type of ATF did you use? Was it the same as what came with the truck or was it a different brand such as Mobil 1 or Castrol?
