You're right in the ballpark to do a pan/filter and new fluid in your truck. If you're doing it yourself,you need the rear tires about 8 or 9" in the air to get the transmissions pan rail level,and a wet rag draped over the exhaust helps mininiumize the ouch factor. The instructions say 122F,but i've since found out from ZF the colder you can do the check the better,and according to them 105 to 110F is about the ideal temp to do the level check at,that means starting with as cold a transmission as you can,cause if you start with it at 86F it'll be at the 122 temp before you can get through the procedure.I use a modified garden sprayer to put the fluid back in the the fill plug hole,as it's a bit of a pita to get at.Also break the fill plug loose before you start,as they use a gorilla to install it,and it can cause some blood leakage busting it loose.

A cheap 12v fuel pump is a good idea,as they'll easily pump the transmission fluid ,might be a bit light for diff fluid,but probably still pump it
y Owners Manual said 120,000 miles. I replaced to filter/pan and oil. I have the Max care warranty and I follow it by the book.
As long as you used the factory mopar 8/9 speed fluid and factory pan/filter,i don't think they'd be any wiser,plus after you have a 1,000+ miles on it,and the pans a bit dirty,i doubt they could tell it'd been changed/serviced. Techinically it shouldn't affect your warrenty if you use all factory parts and fluid
Any temp between 86 and 122,but the ideal temp is closer to 105/110,that's on your evic transmission temp,not engine temp.
Correct, transmission temp. I've been told that they prefer the check closer to the 40 C (104 F) range which would match up to what you were told.
I'm not quite sure what you're question is??
