I have the truck listed above. Was thinking of changing the auto transmission fluid which is recommended at 120,000 per the user manual. Should I change it now? If so should I do full change or just partial? What about the filters? I could not find a drain plug, is there one or do I just drop the pan?

Good afternoon,

Yes, change it now and change the oil and filter in the transmission.

You do not have a drain plug. You will have to drop the pan carefully to release the pan and access the filter.

I also posted the fluid types and amounts for the job.
