I just overheated my 8.1L

Just wondering if I caused any long term damage, was coming home and got the check coolant temp message, looked over at my gauge and it was all the way at 260, I pulled over within a mile and popped the hood and a cloud of smoke came pouring out, the radiator hose that attaches to the heater core popped off and I lost all my coolant, I filled it back up on the side of the road with what I had and reattached the hose, it was probably less than half full and drove it home, I was only a couple minutes away thankfully, I had reduced engine power for a minute and then it went away after the temp came down a little bit, I got home and filled it all the way with water and cleared the codes, just hoping I didn’t cause any serious damage, I guess we’ll see, anyone else have a similar experience?

Just looking for tips on how I can improve the paint on my truck and what steps I should follow

I’m looking at buying a sander and some sand paper but I’m not sure which route to go with that and if there’s a specific sand paper I need, I bought 3 cans of paint of eBay that match my color along with some clear coat and primer

Transmission not shifting correctly 2500hd

Allison 1000 5 speed, I’m thinking it has something to do with my tcm, I already pulled the connectors out and don’t see any corrosion or bent pins, the reason I think it has something to do with that is because I replaced my oil cooler lines the other day and had to move it out the way, it drove fine for a few days but now it doesn’t wanna shift into any gear until my foot is to the floor, if anyone has any ideas on what it could be it would be appreciated, I’ve read online it could also be the neutral position switch going bad, I doubt it’s the transmission itself, it has fresh fluid and it’s full, it’s been completely fine until today.

Looking for advice/recommendations for this truck.

Have a 2001 8.1L 2wd, it’s got 200k miles on the clock, I’m looking for advice on increasing the reliably and performance, so far all I’ve done to it mechanically is general maintenance, all new belt drive parts, water pump, harmonic balancer and I replaced the thermostat with a 180 degree one, other than that’s its 100% stock, I also cut the exhaust off at the muffler so I’m looking for advice on that as well, I’d like to get rid of the original cats and replace them with something else.
