Tranny fluid should be changed every 12-18k.
You should've changed your spark plugs and wires (don't listen to the manual on this one the factory stuff is ****).
Oil every 3k with Full Synthetic.
Check your PS fluid, if its not full top it off (ATF)
Top off your Clutch Fluid (DOT 3 Brake Fluid)
Top off your Brake Fluid (DOT3)
Same with the last two, if they're at the fill line you can leave them alone, but if they need a bit, just add some, it wont hurt.

Thats all I can think of right now

Ok . . .

1. This may sound stupid. . . . where is it to change the tranny fluid, does it show it in the manual??

2. Recommendations for spark plugs?

Called Dodge to get my car in, they can't get it in until Wednesday, scheduled to have baby on Tuesday, so we'll see how that goes.

Oh well, hopefully it doesn't blow up between now and then!!!
