TW> down the Freeway and knew something was wrong and pulled over.

Even though she pulled over right when the engine temp got near the red
line, she told me it stalled right before she put it in park.

I was worried that either the engine or transmission (or both) were toast.
Even the shop that worked on it couldn't guarantee the engine or
transmission until they fixed the hose and replaced the radiator.  I just
crossed my fingers.

After a flush of both systems, everything is still working great. 
Actually, I think the truck coasts better and shifts smoother now.  It has
all new antifreeze and transmission fluid.
