I don't know, maybe they poured the new trans fluid into the oil fill? Or somehow did this 'flush' using the oil cooler lines instead of the transmission fluid lines [if your truck has both]?
Sounds like it's really time to have it towed back to that shop and go "what the hell did you do to my truck?"

This might be a question better asked of Mark Kovolsky---IIRC flushing later model transmissions requires a specialized bit of equipment to be done properly.
I'd post this in the transmission sub-forum too.

Was this a quick lube shop? Most of them employ minimum wage people with ZERO knowledge of cars and trucks, and little to no training. That's a recipe for major screw ups. But the good thing is that the ones with a nationally recognized name will have good insurance to fix things like this.
