Welcome to FTE! You already discovered this is the best site on the 'net for your truck.
Get it scanned a tranny shop, most will do it for free. This should pipoint trouble areas to look into 1st.
Sounds like a valve body problem. If you have a lot of miles on the tranny it may be going bad. Especially if you tow/haul heavy. New fluid and filter is a good place to start but it's not likely to cure it.
You can try getting a kit for the valve body, it addresses reverse slippage.
