Perfectly fine to flush that transmission at 140k. Some here still hold to practices that are decades out of date but transmissions and their fluids are much more robust than they used to be. Your truck uses a late spec fluid and probably has at least one auxiliary fluid cooler for the transmission, nothing to worry about unless you tow a lot or idle in traffic for hours in the summer.

we fix transmissions all the time because of flushing.
I would never flush a 4l60.

OP.
sevice the rear differential and use amsoil or another synthetic gear lube.

And if you will do the fuel filter every twenty thousand miles you will never have a fuel pump go out.

Don't wash your engine unless you want to replace knock sensor soon
