Steve,

Why did you not use good ATF fluid from Amsoil[>:] The reason to replace it is becasue the fluid will break down in time and we all know what happens when it does so in a transmission, **** happens and the same can happen with the power steering pump.
walmart does not carry amsoil [:@] I found out that the ATF-4 fluid is a Group III class fluid, from this website http://www.allpar.com/mopar/transmissions/fluids.html and since I was doing this for the 1st time I did not know how much fluid it would take (bought 3 quarts, used 1 whole quart and put about 1/2 quart on the driveway... oops). Now I know so next time I'll get the better stuff.

I went down to Tognotti's this morning (performance shop) to get some rear diff fluid and found that Redline sells the ATF-4 fluid in a 1 gallon container for $36 bux. next time around it'll get the Redline...
