Did the service myself on my 8 speed. With the help from this most excellent site and the members within (thank you all).
Would've paid the dealer to do it, but they never called back (twice) to give me a price.
7 qts of Mopar 8+9 speed fluid at $21/qt. (Used 5-1/2 qts.), and an OE pan from RockAuto ($170), and a garden sprayer from Amazon ($20).
Wasn't the easiest process, but also not too difficult. Did the fill procedure, got her up to temp, let her sit overnight, rechecked and topped her off the next day.
Giving some thought to the PPE pan and Valvoline maxlife when I hit 200k miles (about 35k to go).
So, it was only about $400 for OE fluid and pan, shipped, dealer was $8/qt higher on the fluid, and $150 higher on the pan, so they would've banged me pretty hard esp. with labor added on, but thankful they didn't call back which gave me the resolve to DIY, with members' encouragement.
