Yes...normally the bands should be checked every other fluid/filter change.
No less than 3/8" and no more than 1/2" play on the bands.

I went ahead and checked the fluid.
Color is ok (red), no bubbles, no burn smell. Level is kind of hard to read,
but I dont think its low. Theres fluid all over the bottom of the stick when
I pull it out. I checked it in neutral idling hot. I think the truck had its
first fluid change at 38k miles, it was flushed. I know its a little late in
terms of maintenance but...
Could it be a mis-adjusted band or something?
