Default Fluid Change

2003 Dodge Durango 4.7L SLT+

I called the garage for a quote on changing fluids, and got a quote of $900. I figured I should save my self a few dollars and attempt this my self.

How much work is involved in changing all the fluids, and what fluid viscosity / brand should I use for;

Front Differential
Rear Differential
Transfer Case
Transmission + Filter
Brake
Coolant

$900 just for that simple stuff!? WTF? Or are we talking like flushes and not just changing fluid?

Wow, I will do it for $898.99. Take it to a local high school and save $800. Time and labor at $75/HR still don't add up.

Front diff hardest. Coolant, petcock and drop bottom hose. Diff bolts and silicone. Buy a Chilton manual and dig in.
