Change it, then repeat every 24k.
You might want to get a mopar gasket from the dealership, it looks like plastic with rubber lines on each side. A lot of people have trouble getting a plain rubber gasket to seal right and cork is a pain when it comes time to change the fluid again (it does make a good seal though).

change the fluid, and make it a manditory thing on your truck like oil, ive gone 15K since i bought the truck, new fluid went in at 195K, now i have 200K, so i figure im going to change it, (i took on minor water the other night) and then change it every 12K to be safe.....

Change your damn fluid and filter, if it's been along time since it's been done then i'd suggest doing it again in a month or so and also changing the filter then too. Then you will notice a difference in torque, i promise you.

I change mine usually every 7 - 8k if i have the cash and the time.
