    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    It doesn't have a filter per say. It's more of a strainer. But it sounds like you could use a good flush.

    It's not gonna hurt to replace it. This is what it looks like, see the screen in it. It doesn't have filter media in it. I would definitely recommend a good flush though.

    If it were me, I'd got to a shop and have it done right. It's your truck though.
