Man these trucks really do take a ton of abuse, you drove at least 11 miles with almost no transmission fluid in the truck.
Yes you drained the transmission fluid and then added motor oil to a already full engine.
So now go buy 6 qts of Dexron III, fill the transmission, that is the red dipstick, and see what happens.
Leave the engine alone right now, after adding trans fluid try to drive it and see what happens.
You will need to add 4 qts of trans fluid, start the engine and shift through all the gears holding each gear for about 5 seconds.
Then check the fluid level again adn add more if needed.
Then try and drive it, see how it drives, you might get lucky.
If it runs and drives fine after that then change the oil.

1. Drain the oil, if no money left, pour the correct quanity back in and check dip stick. Dispose of extra oil properly. But all new oil would be best. When engine has that much oil in it the crankshaft is hitting the surface of the oil pool and you will feel it.
2. You drained part of the tranny fluid out, there was also a good sized quantity in the torque converter, otherwise you would not even move. It may not take all six quarts to refill it, and you don't want to overfill tranny.
3. You are in north Georgia, so the 15W40 Shell Rotella would be fine to run, seldom gets below 20 usually.
4. Downloading a copy of the shop manual would be a good idea - free link below.
5. UGA?
