I don't have an owner's manual for the 91 Ramcharger, I'm looking for the recommended fluid to use in the power steering.
My 92 Dakota says ATF, but it is rack and pinion.
I've used ATF in other 1st gen and older Mopars, but this is going to be a new steering box, pump, and lines, so I figured since I'm starting from scratch I may as well use what it called for.
It's primarily a winter and crappy weather beater, so the best flowing fluid for cold weather is best option.

I am not at my business right now. But I would have to check on my Power Steering fluid bottle and my Synthetic ATF fluid paper work. They both have a list of the specs or fluid specs that they cover. I could check tomorrow morning, and post back here.

Suppose to be power steering fluid that meets Mopar SPEC # 5931 .. Going to have to look on the back of some power steering fluids available in your area...

Mopar had Power Steering Fluid for years
But when the ATF improved to ATF +4 most of the old parts numbers for PS fluid superseded to that
So your 91 Ramcharger would work fine with either

Thanks all.
I got the steering box, hoses, lines, etc. changed yesterday, and the system now has fresh power steering fluid.

Mopars with Saginaw pumps and 72-93 trucks which have Saginaw boxes the GM cold weather P/S fluid works great. Gets rid of that whine they get with regular p/s fluid.
