That's what I am going to be doing immediately after christmas.I will be
replacing my differential cover with the mopar performance chrome piece when
I change the fluid in the rear-end.I am going to do my suspension
tomorrow,so I will be doing the undercarriage work then.My best friend
paints cars,so he will be the one doing the painting,wet
sanding,buffing,etc.I will also have to have it aligned immediately after
getting it off the rack at the shop,so the alignment will be done approx.400
miles early.Oh,good news, the Mopar MTL is less $ now.$11.55/qt down from
$16.50(this is also a price from my buddy that works at the parts counter,so
it may be his price instead of list).Hope this is what you wanted to
see.TTYL,

Good for you Will,
Please let us know of your upcoming service you plan on doing and the fluids
& filters etc. you decided on using, as I am also interested. I baby my
truck a lot also (girlfriend sometimes gets jealous), and I respect your
opinion as you have a beautiful Dak!
