i wouldn't use anything in the transmission other than atf+4. that's the oil recommended by dodge. its full synthetic. don't use any additives.

for differentials, you can use about anything. haynes says 90w GL-5. i use the valvoline 85w90 in both. if you have a limited slip differential, then you add the little bottle of friction modifier. its on the shelf right beside the gear oil.
