I think thats what all the respected Diesel tranny builders recommend. But I also think its Dexron III with a bottle of Black Lube Guard.
Thats what Goerend recommends anyway.

I am sure Chrysler put a lot more engineering into developement of chemicals used in ATF+4 than the entire resources of individual builders. Go with ATF+4 and no snake oil additives.
