For a filter replacement and fluid freshening that's all you need. You will only be able to 4 maybe 5 quarts back in the system. If the truck has low miles and the fluid is good this is sufficent to keep transmission in good working order. You may want to invest $5-10 in a hand pump to empty the pan before dropping it that way you won't get an ATF shower. Clean the pan and don't overtighten it when reinstalling. Good luck.
