Hi fellow Durango owners, I've got an 04 SLT with 208k miles on her. She is a has been passed around to those needing a vehicle - some of her carers did not do thier job and now I'm stuck trying to keep her alive!



Her transmission fluid is beyond low but because of her high mileage NO ONE will even take her in to look at my options. I'm positive she hasn't had a fluid change in the last 100k and I'm curious what I should do!?



There is too much on the net to get a definitive answer on which (draining/flushing/adding fluid) to do and I really really want to do my best to get her to the end of her life, happily.



Do I just add fluid myself? Do I need to add a little at a time to keep the "good" particles a higher percentage or can I add the 7 qts at once?



Please help keep our Dolly alive!



Thanks in advance for any advice.

 

My Durango with 160k miles had the shift solenoid error. The local trans shop I took it to replaced the solenoid pack, cleaned out the valve body and added 10th of good synthetic oil. No issues since.

I would change the fluid and filters. (Mine had 2) and call it good
