2000 Durango 5.9 maintenance

Actually, you can still buy ATF+3. It is tough to find though. If you do a google search you'll find it. There was a recent debate between Hyrashocker and IndyDurango regarding the use of ATF+3 vs ATF+4 recently. You should be able to find it pretty easily in the search function with keyword ATF+3 in this forum.

I found the thread. It's quite interesting, actually.

As Indy stated, it's all aftermarket now. But it is available if you really want to use it...

The first one is $24.99 + shipping
The second is $12.83 + $13.50 shipping = $26.33
Now, why in the hell would you want to use a fluid that was only made for 30,000 miles before it starts to shear? Not to mention, I can go over to my local (out in the boonies) shop and get Valvoline Fully Synthetic ATF+4 which is a superior fluid and Fully Synthetic for $5.50 a quart. Not to mention Chrysler sent out a TSB about it.
You know what, I'm not going to hash this out again. I put all the backing information in that thread and that is where it will lie. If you wanna spend $50 on a fluid change so be it.

Hello all, I would first like to say this site is the best for any dodge owner. I recently purchased a 5.9L '01 Durango, with the help and knowledge of many members on here I was able to learn so much about my new(used) truck... I got the D with 105k miles on it, after a couple days of just reading many threads/post, I decided to just do a complete maintenance on it. Needed or not, just to peace of mind. So far I've changed the front brakes and rotors, oil, air filter, spark plugs(Champion Coppers!)/cables/coil, pcv, AC relay, coolant, and cleaned the throttle body. All of that done myself with advice I've read on this site. I still have other things I need to do, like rear brakes and the seat rocking, but that will come in time. I am happy I joined and am looking forward to gaining more info and also helping when i can...
Hey Doms- if you do like I did and order everything online at Advance Auto Parts, you can save 20% by using the code P20. I saved over $50 on everything.
