    I have a '99 Chrysler T&C Limited All-Wheel-Drive with just under 190K
    miles. The drive train is beginning to groan from the rear of the
    vehicle. What items back there can be services by a DIY-er? Can lub
    oils be changed? Is there any particular procedures or cautions I
    need to be aware of?

    Gear oil goes into the ptu just off of the transmission. Atf in the
    over-running clutch portion of the drive shaft and Gear oil in the rear
    diff. Check the drive shaft cv joint for excessive play common weak point.
    Use a suction gun to remove the oils from each unit if you cant get to drain
    plugs. It is not like changing you own oil it is better suited up on a
    hoist. But I don't like working on my back.\
