newbie help

Hi im new to this site as in i just traded my 93 F350 for a 98 F150. The truck has 267800k on a 4.6L auto 2wd. Well i have had it 2 days and it runs like a champ never have owned anything that ran like this does. I just have 2 concerns hopefully you can help ease them..

1. From the behind the driver seat almost between the back seat and the bed of truck there is a slight hum/whinning noise is this normal or bad and what can it be.

2. I check the tranny fluid and it didnt register on dipstick, it took 1.5qts to fill it what/why would it be that low.

1. i had it looked at and test drove by a local dealer and they think its standard road noise they didnt think it was serious.

2. If the tranny was serviced i have no record of it.

Well, I'd take a look under there yourself. I've caught things, minor and major, many times that the dealer missed.
