Dodge: tranny fluid?

They're SOB's. I worked for CarQuest for a few years, and Chrysler parts
are rare aftermarket. We had fuel filters and alternators, but few chassis
parts or anything else. Chrysler holds on to them for 7-10 years,
depending on the model. If the part is obsoleted by a revision or
redesign, it hits the market in 7 years. If it is current, it is 10 years
or more!

Horseshit. I've owned Chrysler products for years and seldom ever had
trouble finding parts in the aftermarket for recent-model Mopars.
 

You must've worked at a much shittier CarQuest than the one I used to shop
at routinely. I had no problem getting brake parts, chassis parts,
electrical parts, fuel system parts -- pretty much whatever I needed that
could reasonably be expected to be available in the aftermarket for any
make.
 

Blah, blah, whatever.

I've been able to get pretty well anything I want for my 88 Aries or 90
LeBaron, other than some body parts through Kragens here in the Los Angeles
area. Mechanical parts - No problem. Autozone's been OK too.

That's what you get for working for CarQuest I guess, cause it sure wasn't a
Chrysler problem.
I have owned Chrysler/MOPAR vehicles since the 70's and never had issue
getting parts through aftermarket sources.

I have a 90 dynasty, run only Chrysler trany fluid and added a cooler with
fan, external filter. 100k so far so good.
