I run Fleet Charge. It's pink, not the Chrysler HOAT stuff though. It's made for medium/heavy duty diesels.

Of course dodge recommends HOAT. They also recommend ATF+4 but that doesn't mean you have to use it, or that you will have problems if you don't use it.

GM recommends Dexcool, and that stuff sucks, imho.
