Making my Dart road trip worthy

dumped out 7 !!!! qts of atf ?????? wow! I would figure out that problem, then go to the other mentioned things.

if I were to do a big road trip, I would first take it on 50 mi runs around the home area for shackdown. ( after fixing the transmission!)

is front end GOOD! alignment? how does it drive on the highway? brakes? wheel bearings? radiator???? tires??? rear end skunk oil? u joints????

road trip? take along tools, and spare parts. do you have spare alternator, belts, are your hoses Good? spare ECU? balalst? etc

these cars are meant to be driven, BUT when they are, first wore out, then sit for decades, THEN it takes a while to get them back dependable...
