Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. Is your check engine light on right now?

The normal is every 30,000 miles but alot of the newwer cars and trucks are now using a synthetic trany oil and some dealer say its lifetime oil and not to service it, but i would at 100,000 i would replace the filter and pan gasket, or even at 80,000 miles, this is what i would do and what reccomended,im almost positive this truck has the synthic trany oil, call or look in your manually it will show you all the thing to do at each mileage service or ask a dealer. hope this helps.

I need 2 or 4 wheel drive and automatic or manual.

It SHOULD be as easy as pulling off the pan on the transmission, prying off the old gasket (so long as the gasket is not plastered onto the transmission, in which case you will need a screwdriver to remove the broken pieces), and replacing it with the new one.

Could be your pan gasket or the main oil seals (front and rear).

theres no dip stick ,there are to plugs on trany one on the bottom to drain and one on the side,remove the side one oil is full when it starts to flow out,but caution dont star removing bolts unless your sure could cause trany damage on some tranys,go to a oil and lube shop have them lift truck and check takes 5 to 10 minutes,good luck.
