Did you take their recommendation and put something other than ATF+4 in it? If you did that could be the cause of your new problems and I would recommend a complete flush. Also make sure the filter gets changed. BTW the ATF+4 is a synthetic long life fluid already.
The first time I changed my ATF it smelled burnt and looked discolored too and I was concerned, I later found out in the factory service manual this is normal and to be expected for ATF+4 and is not an indicator of any problems with the fluid.
As far as the bands go the most important one is the front band which is accessible form the outside, (it is a shifting band). The rear band isn't as important as is doesn't do any shifting, it only holds in reverse and manual low.
If your truck is an 03 or 04 you should probably have the TV (throttle valve) cable looked at and adjusted if needed.
