Jay, the stock mopar fluid is synthetic.I change mine every 2500 miles when
I do my oil change/service.It costs $16.50 per pint and it takes like 3.5 or
4 pints to do it(I think!).It is the only "approved or recommended" fluid
for the NV3500.Whatever fluid you use, be sure that it contains no
sulfur,because the synchros in the tranny will basically disentegrate in the
presence of sulfur(seen that happen too!) HTH,

Hi Will,
I have a 97, 5 speed, 4x4 and mine feels the same way warm and cold. Does
anyone think changing the fluid to either the stock Mopar or maybe a
synthetic fluid would remedy this?
Thanks
Jay
