Thought I lost my transmission last night!

I was on my way to a party, the truck was fine. Then about 3 miles from my house the transmission started feeling really weird. We got on the freeway and the shift pattern was very strange. I have been driving really hard the past few days and shifting myself. I thought the computer might be adapting to that. It felt like the clutch was fully disengaged and it had a ton of power all through the gears!
I got to a stop light and the truck starting idling really rough, chugging, and surging forward like the clutch wasn't engaging! Almost stalling the truck. I turned around and went home. Once you were moving the engine was fine, the trans had that awesome feel of power but shifted very strange. No lights on the dash yet.
I got home and hardly was able to pull it in the shop. The truck could hardly keep its self running in neutral. I popped the hood, everything looked fine. Nothing blown. My girlfriend looked and saw the intake tube separated from the box by the sensor. We put it back together, the truck started right up like normal. We went down the street and it drove perfect.
All I could gather was it was sucking in enough air through the sensor to keep it from throwing up a wrench, but not enough to keep the engine running smooth. And with the way the truck sensors work, it was causing the trans to act up really bad.

You dont just get code it takes the PCM to see a few events to set the code. It stored it but wont just set the first time something happens

My intake tube separated at the last Little sahara run and it threw the wrench up immediately.

She can't. But I know how to cook very well.

My wife can't even tell when the same vehicle is on the road by us. I always get "is that our car?" And it's something not even close.

Ya. it really threw me off this time since nothing popped up. And it would run fine when moving, just shifted really weird. Then when stopping it was like the clutch would not engage for the stop. Just stuck in gear trying to stall the motor.
Everything is fine now though. Strange.
