Everyone has given me great advice and I appreciate it. I now have 2 more questions. My 89 Dak V6 conv. is used for something different for about 3 months of the year, oct.-dec. Little winter and then May thru Sept just cruising. In the fall I ride the beach in soft sand, slow and in low 4 with 16 psi in my 235 tires. The most I would ever drive is 20 miles. The season is ending and with the help you gave a very successful season .Now maintanice. I can take care of front and back end and also transfer case. Can you tell me engine oil and trans fluid.Trans ran well and I have check bolts. Whats next? fevertree1

For the engine oil use a good quality 10w30 and for the trans use the atf+3 for mopar trans. make sure you check this out and get the proper fluid!!!! it is a special and you cant just use any one...

My 92 takes the atf+3 I can't remember if the earlier ones use the same..

fevertree1, you didn't say if its an auto or manual. If its a manual I would use synthic 10W-30 if its an auto, go with what Trev1 said.
Good Luck
