Turn the truck on. Wait a minute or two for the fluid to get flowing. Then look for the red handle dip stick. Its behind the engine on the passenger side. Once you pull it out, use a rag to clean the tip, reinsert and take out again. If the fluid is between the L and H markings then the fluid is good. If the fluid looks cherry red then the fluid is clean. If dark, then consider getting a transmission flush from an oil shop.
