were there any issue with the trans prior to changing fluid? Is the filter firmly in place? Is the fluid showing on the dipstick? 4 quarts seems a little low to me (haven't done a 2nd gen in 15 years)

Did you make sure the filter seated correctly? I know the 545RFE's (behind the 4.7) will not run at all if the filter does not get seated right. I think there was even a TSB issued for it.
