First off, Welcome!

Next, only use ATF+3 or ATF+4 in the tranny. So far you doing great!

As for changing out the fluid, cleaning the screen, replacing the filter and doing the band adjustments, you will either need the Dodge service manual for Ram Vans/Wagons for your year (cheap on eBay) or get yourself a Hayes Repair Manual book # 30065 and look at sections 1 and 7B. It's way too lengthly to do all of that typing here. The Hayes book runs about $16 USD at AutoZone parts stores.

While you're at it, take a look over at the Dodge Ram Info site for the TSBs. Many of the Truck engine stuff applies to our vans too. It's always good to read those TSBs before heading to the repair shop.
