Check transmission fluid level and when was the last time you changed the transmission fluid and filter ?

I bought the truck a few months ago. Transmission fluid looks pink and doesn't smell burnt. But I have not changed filter or added new fluid. Also after it winds and catches, it makes a slight grinding sound. I was told it's my torque converter but I fear it's the transmission.

Google the web site ( lucasoil.com/ products) and check out the transmission products mainly check out the product called transmission fix read what it does and check out the testimonials about it then go from there. The only reason I am recommending this product is because I have used some of their other products with great results but in the end it is up to you whether or not you would try it.
