I think it is trying to tell you something. it through out all of them except the Oil?

did you just top off all of your fluids or did you change and flush them.

If I understand this right You lost all Antifreeze and Transmission fluid? I would check the radiator for leaks. Maybe some catastrophic blowout of the endcap?

We need a LOT more information to diagnose. Start with year & model. Then tell us everything you know about the truck that's relevant - engine, transmission, miles, work done recently, etc. Anything that might help. As it is, you've given us nothing to go on. I don't even know if it's an automatic or not.

If it is just antifreeze coming out of the back of the block, then you just need to install new freeze plugs.
