If im not mistaken they all have the same POS transmission. But i have been wrong in the past.
No such thing as manual R/T..... the only way to get a manual in a Dakota is behind the 4.7. The auto behind the 4.7 (and the hemi in the Rams) is a diff design than the unit behind the 360.loco3kgt said:So the transmission is just complete ass and I might as well go manual R/T?
Or is it atleast respectable enough for light driving in the QC with occassional towing ( less than 2000lbs no doubt, but long trips )
So many people are afraid of an automagic.....loco3kgt said:Since I'm looking for a newer (99+) Dakota, I'll be getting one with the newer electronic controls right?
I'm not as mechanically savy as I'd like to be. What's the maintainence on an automatic transmission involve?
(I've got a 95 3000GT w/ manual 5 speed, all I do is check the fluid. 98k miles and no noises or problems)
727 as in Boeing, right?94 SLT said:check out the tranny behind most big block mopar muscle cars including Hemis and if it's an auto, it's a 727.
No the tranny is an a-727 torqueflite... the 727 is the number, they also made torqueflites with the following numbers used behind other applications:loco3kgt said:

So I'll just look for a Dakota R/T CC. Quad Cab would be cool, but the shorter bed deters me from the getgo. I want to be able to throw a motorcycle in the back and still have the tailgate up.
thanks! That's what I was looking for!nightmare said:46RE is the name of the elect version of the 518
An engineer at the mopar tranny plant in Indiana said this and I quote him "45RFE for the trucks and Jeeps behind the 3.7L/4.7L and 5.7L engines." I think the early 4.7 might have the 46re....SSRage said:Well from what the idiot Dodge tech at the dealership said that I've got a 46RE as well hooked up to my 4.7L. Course I don't trust anything that monkey says. He told me that since my driver side window wouldn't roll down that it was something else besides the motor and gears and that he didn't know how to fix it. Makes you wonder sometimes. Where at exactly does it say on the tranny what the number is? I don't want a 46RE if its gonna do what Steve's and a couple of the other guys did.
