    This is probably your cheapest way out right now. You only need 2-3qts to get it where it needs to be since you just drained the pan. As was posted earlier, there's compatible ATF available, but it would be best to not mix, leaving you to buy (iirc) 15qts for a full flush.

    Just pay the price. Its called a stupidity tax.

    Educations are usually embarrassing, expensive or painful or all three.

    If your truck will move with the missing 2 quarts, you won't hurt anything if just running low speeds less than 10 miles.

    It might surge at a stop sign when the fluid sloshes away from the fluid pick up foot, but it will soon flow back to the bottom of the pan allowing you to move.

    I just paid $9.33 per quart last weekend. I have had some luck getting some percentage off by complaining to the dealer about the high prices.
