Tranny Flush shocker

Yesterday I finally decided to flush out my tranny and install a new filter. Went to the store got the 20 quarts and filter that I needed and away I went. When I drained the pan, I was shocked to see that the color of the fluid was still as bright and clean as the day I bought the truck 10 years ago!! There was no burnt smell either. When I dropped the pan I was surprised as well, the magnet had only a few burs and very little sludge on it. Now, I own a construction company and use my truck like a truck every day. I've had to replace the rear leafs on it twice from overloading it and driving on pothole infested roads, most of the time with a trailer on it. I still cant get over it, but its something that I've been meaning to change for a loooonnggg time. Oh yeah, and I have 164,000 miles on her, first tranny flush. I was looking for the horseshoe in the pan but I must have been sitting on it. Anyone else have a similar story??
