I ran ATF+3, then +4 in an 87 d150 for the duration of it's life. Lockup 904; key word being lockup No trouble ever. Too bad cab rusted off it.

The newer fluids are backwards compatible with a few exceptions, even Ma Mopar says so.

Like John said and if you would like to read more- ATF trans fluids
I just read that , looks like yet another MONEY GRAB by the Chrysler LICENSING STRONGARM division ... 
Quote:
Manufacturers can make ATF+4 fluids, but to use the trademarked ATF+4 name in their compatibility list, they must have their fluids tested and licensed by Chrysler engineers, and must use Lubrizol in their formulations.

Chrysler has stopped making ATF+3 and now makes ATF+4 but honestly i think there is no reason not to use it. Its a synthetic tranny fluid
