Pick up pan gasket while there. Reinstall with new fluid and walla you just serviced your first transmission. On the heater hose you can use a piece of pipe and connect the 2 together. you will not have any heat but you don't now. so no harm no foul. enjoy the work and the new truck.

Thanks for the transmission tips - I'm glad to hear that I can take care of it without having to pull it off the truck!
