There is no sure fire way to know if the filter is plugged. When I say to a costumer, we need to service the Transmission Fluid and filter.. This is a decision made on the miles on vehicle, the last time it was serviced, color and smell of the fluid. In my opinion the filter and fluid should be changed every 30,000 miles. The cost is about 130.00. This is cheap insurance on a 2000$ transmission. As the transmission clutches wear, the very small particles from the friction discs start to plug the filter. You may also want to open the filter up and see with your own eyes the amount of debris in it. By the way, I drive the same truck..........

It will be one of possibly 2 things. The seal is not the correct one or is not being installed correctly. Or the transmission is building to much internal pressure. Look on top of the transmission and the is a vent tube, be sure it is free of obstructions.
