If the fluid is bad, the tranny's getting overworked and is about to go toes up. Flushing can do damage, not changing the fluid.

I have changed fluid in lots of rangers/f150's not that it matters. It seems most of them will darken the fluid with 50k+ miles, this goes for other manual trans or transfer cases too that take ATF.
Just drain it and refill with what ever kind of ATF you have laying around. If you want to do better then buy a synthetic.
