Default transmission service ? (60,000 miles AT)

I have a question with the 60,000 mile service for a AT transmission, I have a 2005 5.9L 4-speed auto. It says to refill AT and replace the filter for the trany, I have talked to othere that have the same and said they have never changed there AT trans fluid or filter becouse its a sealed trans, and then others that have said it is a must. I guess my trans is the 48RE, correct me if im wrong, so my question is do I change the trans fluid and filter or not.

Definately change it. Get the old dirty fluid out and some fresh in. It's a very easy do it yourself project.

You have 2 choices.
1) never change it and be mad when it dies.
2) change it. Would you not change your engine oil. Why does Dodge recommend changing it if its not required....
