what year? Im a chrysler tech, and my best guess is 10mm. you might be able to get away with a 3/8" but a ten should do it.

If you need a hex socket (kinda like an allan key) then the size is 10mm. But like phillyxj570 said it could possibly be a big normal socket needed. On a 99, it will be a 10mm hex though.

Of course, get the fill plug out first. Otherwise, Mr Murphy will strike and you'll be there with an empty case cursing that you can't get the fill plug out.
