Re: overdrive slip [20011500]: by dustyk on Sun Nov 30 19:51:14 PST 2008; First, how many miles on the vehicle and what engine? Did the OD indicator lamp switch on when it came out of overdrive? How many miles did you drive before the OD switched off? By any chance did you get a transmission over temperature indicator illumination? Best regards, Dusty

Re: '96 Dakota 46RE Won't Shift Out of 1st [96dak]: by dustyk on Sun Nov 30 19:46:35 PST 2008; Good test! Positive manual shift results indicate that all major drive components are okay. I would highly recoomend you replace the Throttle Position Valve Cable with a new one. This is a common problem. There is either moisture in the cable or it has become kinked or frayed internally. You might save a few dollars getting one from a boneyard, but I don't think it's worth it. Keep us posted. Best regards, Dusty

Re: 97 Dakota help [Tdpkid]: by dustyk on Sun Nov 30 19:33:21 PST 2008; Okay. This configuration is rare, but okay! First, you need to determine if you have spark and fuel. Remove a spark plug from the cylinder head. Reconnect the plug wire to the spark plug and place the spark plug on the engine at a location that allows you to view the electrode. Have someone crank the engine and observe if a spark jumps across the electrode. If it does, you have secondary ignition power. If not, we know where to start troubleshooting. If you've verified that you have spark, perform the following: 1. Disconnect the air clearner housing from the top of the Throttle Body Assembly. You must be able to see the throttle plate. 2. With an assistant holding the gas pedal to the floor, pour approximately one tablespoon full of gasoline into the throttle body. 3. Crank the engine for approximately 15 seconds. If the engine attempted to start (then stalled) you likely have a fuel delivery problem. Let me know how this worked out. I will monitor for a response until 11:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Regards, Dusty

Re: 1998 Dakot 5.2 Auto, trans swap?? or stay auto.... [CharDak]: by dustyk on Sun Nov 30 19:17:37 PST 2008; Look. I may sound like a voice in the wilderness to you, but Dodge automatic truck transmisions are pretty sound, durable, and reliable units despite what anyone says. If you maintain the vehicle properly and don't abuse it, the RH or RE series Mopar tranny will out live a 4L60 or 4R75 any day. If your symptom is as described, the likely problem is severe loss of pump pressure. In my experience this is caused by a clogged Anti-Drain Back Valve, Transmission Filter, or clogged cooling lines. The problem is that insufficient fluid flow may have caused burned clutches or overdrive unit. However, there are other possible causes that may may not require a complete overhaul. I will bet this vehicle's transmission was not properly maintained. Unfortunately, you are likely stuck with the problem now. I would have the transmission overhauled and rebuild by a reputable transmission technician that will ensure that all of the updates have been performed (there are a number of them). Once this is done and you change fluid and filters regularly per the scheduled service interval, you should be able to have a reliable transmission for at least 100,000 miles. Regards, Dusty
