If you bought it used @ 27k on the clock, then I would have changed EVERYTHING. Never know how the old owner drove (unless you know him well). Just cheap insurance.

What ever you do, don't let them talk you into doing a tranny flush.

Dealer wanted $150.00 front and $150.00 rear, And $110.00 for the fuel filter. That is why I am searching these forums.
I guess I will invest in the gaskets from Mopar. Or any suggestions.
The front and rear differential cover gaskets are re- useable, so save your money.

Are there any manuals that give a basic walk through on how to change all of the fluids?

110.00 for the fuel filter...............

Bought my fleetguard filters on line for 10.00. Takes all of about three minutes to change the filter.
