I would guess a 45RFE transmission, only because in their post that filters were replaced. Remove the pan and drop the main transmission filter and see if the seal has been install into the pump. If the seal is on the neck of the filter. That is your problem, you are sucking air not fluid.

People either leave the old one in or don't put one on. Remove the pan and pull the filter, look up into the oil pick up tube and make sure there is nothing inside there. Check the filter and see if there is an O-ring on the pick up stem of the filter. Hell, while your at it I would just replace it. Button it back up and either ensure he used ATF+4 which I doubt he did, but if he did then strain the oil you pulled out through some cheese cloth and put it back in. If not replace the fluid with the correct fluid.
Besides, that mechanic most likely installed the wrong fluid anyway if he thought it was a Mercedes Nag1 transmission. I think that wasn't installed only in Jeep until about 2005 or so, and even then I don't know if they even used them under the 4.7L or 5.7L. The fluid used was regular ATF if I remember correctly not ATF+4.
