No drain plug, the filter is inside trans.
Remove trans oil pan (it will be full of tran fluid so loosen bolts on one end and work your way to other end)
May have to take bolts out of a cross member and slid it back to get to all the pan bolts.
The filter is flat and you'll see it once the pan is dropped. Pull straight down to remove.
Clean out sludge and old fluid from pan and scrape old gasket off.
Push new filter into place. Its a good idea to use gasket sealer to help keep it from leaking and to help hold gasket in place so bolt holes stay lined up while bolting up pan.
Tighten all bolts evenly. Then refill tran with the fluid your service manual list. Operate your truck in all gears (shifting back and forth) and recheck trans fluid level.
Its not a hard job to change filter and fluid. If you can change your own motor oil and have a rachet and sockets then you couldnt have any problems. Just get your filter and trans fluid from your local auto parts store like Autozone or Advance Auto Parts.
