I can't find it on the interweb. Does anyone have a link to it, or can anyone just tell me how many miles between a fluid & filter change is recommended?

It depends on what year of truck you have. If it a 03 and up with the 6.0, you have a 5R110. That trans requires Mercon SP which is good for severe duty to about 60,000 miles. The older 4R100 transmissions only require merc/dex and should be changed every 15,000 to 25,000 miles. The same goes for the E4OD trans in the OBS trucks.

Actually if you are changing at 15K you are tossing perfectly good fluid. Severe duty is 25K normal is 30K-35K, of course if you burn the fluid at any mileage it needs to be replaced. Only use Mercon/Dexron III in a stock 4R100.

What would the answer to the original poster's question be if it were a BTS trans? Mine is on it's way here.
