did you just put the trans in or was it in and then just stopped working?
Kinda sounds like the front pump went out.

Did you have any problems bolting up the torque converter? Was it all the way back towards the tranny when you installed the tranny? If not, as stated there might be a issue with the convert to pump drive.

Remove one of the cooler lines at the radiator or the cooler and put a the lines in a bucket. Have someone start the truck, if no fluid shoots out, then you could have broken the pump gears on installation.
