V8 Manual transmission (NV3500) doesn't have a recommended
fluid change... you could go a bit more mileage wise (50k
or so). If you REALLY want to change it, use Mopar Manual
Tranmission fluid, as that's all that is listed as
acceptable (to keep the warranty). Otherwise you could go
with a synthetic.
Rear diff... I am running AMSOIL 75-90 synthetic, plus
mopar friction additive for the rear end (for the suregrip
diff.) www.amsoil.com for the nearest Amosoil dealer to
you.
I bought 3 quarts, but a little over 2 quarts is all that's
needed.
