tranny fluid change?

I have a 99 f450 diesel with an auto tranny with 102,000 miles on it. was wondering if it would be ok to change the fluid and filter or am I going to create problems since it probably has never been done before. it shifts ok but figured preventive maintenance... any feedback?

If there is nothing wrong with the trans new fluid can only help it. If there is damage in the trans from 102,000 miles of neglect new fluid won't hurt it, but it won't save it, either.
