Dana Technology Prominent on New Jeep(R) Grand Cherokee

    TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- As Chrysler Corporation introduces
the world to the all-new 1999 Jeep(R) Grand Cherokee, automotive enthusiasts
are marveling at the latest technology that Dana Corporation (NYSE: DCN)
brings to the vehicle.
    Dana is particularly proud of its contribution to the all-new Quadra-
Drive(TM) four-wheel-drive system, which is featured on the 1999 Jeep(R) Grand
Cherokee.  The system provides the highest level of traction capability
available in the industry.
    This revolutionary concept utilizes the new Quadra-Trac(TM) transfer case,
which incorporates a progressive, speed-sensing torque-transfer differential.
The system also marks the first industry use of Vari-Lok(TM) axles, supplied
by Dana, which also have progressive, speed-sensing torque-transfer
differentials in both the front and rear axles.  Without any driver
involvement, the Quadra-Drive(TM) system keeps the vehicle moving even if only
one wheel has minimal traction.
    Bill Carroll, president of Dana's Automotive Components Group, said, "This
innovative system supports Jeep's heritage by ensuring traction in all
conditions while providing off-road capabilities that Jeep users have come to
expect -- from Baja to rough roading."
    Other products that Dana provides for the Grand Cherokee include end
yokes, rear driveshafts, piston rings, and cylinder liners.
    One of the world's largest independent suppliers to vehicular, off-
highway, and industrial manufacturers and their related aftermarkets, Dana
Corporation produces components used on more than 95 percent of the world's
650 million motor vehicles.  Founded in 1904 and based in Toledo, Ohio, the
company operates 270 major facilities in 33 countries and employs more than
79,000 people.  The company had pro forma sales of $11.9 billion in 1997.
