So today driving home from work. My engine started revving very oddly and then would rev before clunking into gear. I was able to luckily pull into a parking lot nearby. That all happened in less than 30 sec btw. 
 

i pull into the parking lot and then i cannot move forward or backward. I get out and transmission fluid is everywhere! A very large amount and inside the engine bay as well. 
 

i get it towed home and talked to a buddy. We’re thinking it’s a transmission line since he had something very similar happen to his jeep. 
 

i’ve been doing some reading and from what i understand, the trans cooler is part of the AC condensor. Well i just had to have my entire AC system, including condensor replaced less than 2 weeks ago. 
 

now i haven’t had a chance to really look at the truck yet since i got it towed home. However am i right to assume there is a good possibility that when the shop replaced my condensor they didn’t hook the trans line up correctly and that is why it leaked everything out? 
 

my truck is a 2014 sierra 6.2 with 6L80 btw

Without any more than you've posted, I'd say you are on the right path about the A/C condensor replacement being involved.  Just guessing, they probably didn't correctly connect the transmission line to the condensor.  When I say "correctly", the connections are an O ring with a small wire clip and a black plastic collar.  The wire clip fits a groove that keeps the bead on the tube from backing out, the plastic collar keeps the wire clip from getting knocked out or falling out of the groove.  If the plastic collar wasn't put back on, the wire clip could pop off and allow the tube to back out of the connection and spray fluid out under pressure.
