 Subject: REPAIR MOPAR TRUCKS @ DEALER, ANSWER IS?
IP: Logged
Message:
HI, IF ANYONE WORKS ON TRUCKS @ A MOPAR DEALER THIS IS A FLUID QUESTION. I HAVE 3 DAKOTAS. 94, 95, 2000 ALL OF THEM HAVE THE NP231 TRANSFER CASE. I CHANGE MY OIL AND I USE DEXTRON 3 IN MY TRANSFERCASE. CAN I PUT THIS ATF4 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE 2000 DAKOTA AND ALL OF THEM? I HAVE HEARD MIXED THINGS FROM PEOPLE. OR JUST THE 2000 DAKOTA, OR NONE OF THEM? TRYING TO GET THE RIGHT ANSWER.

I've been running it in my 99 NP231 since it first came out. I also added 50 percent Lucas Synthetic Oil Stabilizer to the t-case and diffs. I know the manual says you can use Dextron/Mercon III in the t-case only but if you put that stuff in the transmission itself it will screw it up big time. I just feel safer using ATF 4 or AMSOIL ATF.

Simple answer.
Use the recommended fluids.
When in doubt, read the owner's manual or ask the Dodge parts/service dept - they can look it up for you. Refer to Service Bulletin 21-004-04.

Steve Roark, this sites resident Amsoil guy, can answer for you.
Simple answer; if the fluid you're looking at meets or exceeds the factory recommended, it's ok to use. That is what all the alphabet soup on the label is about.
