You should have tranny flushed (not just pand drop, needs a machine) and filled with ATF + 4 ONLY, every 50,000 miles.
50k is straight out of the book and too long to wait. I lost the auto tranny on the '01 (81k) following that procedure. When we bought the '04 I asked the service manager why the 41TE was so weak and he told me, off the record, that the 41TE needed to be serviced every 30k alternating between a drain and fill and a full service flush. The '04 now as almost 130k with no problem.
