transmission service

I have been given 2 trucks do to a relative's death. One is a 2001 Chevy Z-71 and the other is a 1992 Chevy S-10. The Z-71 has a 150,000 miles on it and the S-10 has 170,000 miles on it. Neither one has ever had a transmission service. I was going to service them but have heard that after going so long without servicing the transmission I should not. I have heard that it seems to burn up or tear up the transmission after doing so. Please give me some advice.

If transmissions are basically fine now then just the fluid and filter change of dropping the trans oil pan would be a plus for the future life of them. It would also show if there was more than usual evidence inside the pan itself.
I would avoid tranny flushing - that my opinion with this history,
