Thanks everyone. You guys are awesome and totally took away the sick feeling that the trans valve body or something was toast. I'm going to top it off tomorrow WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING as per the RAVE manual.
How much damage did I possibly do by driving it roughly 10 miles with a quart low on trans fluid? There were some times after cold starts that I revved it pretty high to try and get the gear to engage and the truck would barely move for a minute. I'm worried I might've burned up the clutches or something.

when the engine is running, many parts like the cooler lines are filled with fluid because the pumps in the transmission are also running. this lowers the fluid level inside the transmission.

if you turn the engine off with the filler plug removed, the transmission fluid will pour out until it's down to the level of the hole. the fluid level is supposed to be above the hole which is the entire reason to fill while the engine is running.

Quick update. So here's the situation. Went under the truck to top off fluid. While running and topping it off I noticed a heavy drip coming from the front of the car. The lower trans cooler line is leaking right at the coupling to the cooler. Its shooting out from a rusted through spot right at the coupler. Since the prices for these lines are ridiculous I am going to try and jerry rig it either tomorrow or the day after and give an update afterwards.
