Description of the problem	At the time of the transmission failure i had no prior signs of a problem. As i was merging on to the 4 lane at a speed of about 45-50 mph the truck began shaking violently. I thought i had gotten some bad fuel because i had just filled the fuel. The shaking somewhat smoothed out at about 60 mph, though the truck was lacking normal power, and would shudder when pulling a grade. I drove the truck about 10 miles and stopped to get some fuel treatment because i still thought i was having fuel problems. At this point the truck began to act as if the transmission was in neutral, then the transmission would grab and jar the truck violently. At this time i was in heavy traffic and nearly hit. I barely got the truck to my mechanic. Further inspection by my mechanic showed antifreeze in the transmission. I had to have the transmission totally rebuilt and replaced the radiator, at a cost of about $4,000. About a year prior i had the transmission flushed, replaced filter and fluid as preventative maintenance. The truck has been maintained properly because i planned to keep the truck for long term. My truck is past the warranty so total cost is incurred by me.
