    I have a trans. issue. I took my old trans out and on the bell housing it is stamped "248-1". My new trans is stamped "248-2", now my question is are they compatible with each other without reprogramming the ecu?

    I've got a problem with the transmission. In 1st gear it's okay. From 1st to second it slips. There's no overdrive at all. Should I just change the fluid and filter? Or is there a solanoid that needs to be replaced? Any help would be much appreciated.

    So my truck has been a plethora of problems since I got it. First I had to have the engine rebuilt because of damaged pistons, then it needed to be tuned because it was bored out and the PCM wasn't allowing enough fuel. While it was being tuned the transmission gave out. Now I rebuilt the...

    I was driving home one night and the check gages light came on. The battery voltage was all the way down. The RPMs would go up but it would take a while to go into gear and would have low torque. The next day I started it up and there was a slight shaking noise. The battery voltage was fine and...

    Just bought a 2002 dakota sxt 4x4 a few weeks back. Has 101k miles, exterior is in great shape so I don't think it's been beat too much. Anyways, I've noticed the transmission has been a little off since I got it it likes to shift somewhat hard into gear and you have to hit the gas pretty good...

    I have a 5.2 liter 4x4 auto. After the truck warms up it doesn't like to go into drive and reverse. It makes the truck rock when I try it. Once in gear it doesn't like to move. Dropped pan checked filter, very very little shavings. Color was dark. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

    Here's the deal: I have an auto 94 v8 dakota. It goes into gear hard and doesn't want to shift. I brought it into the garage yesterday to find out that the exhaust pipe rests right on the transmission pan front bolts. Someone cobbled glasspacks onto it but I don't understand how the pipe rests...

    My 2007 Dakota has been acting up lately. When I hammer the gas to pass someone, beat a yellow light or climb a hill, my truck is staying in it's current gear and not shifting as it should, to give me the momentum that I need. I have a video of the dash here that shows the RPM's skyrocket, but...

    The transmission temp warning light comes on sporadically . I turn the engine off and turn it back on and it goes away. This makes me think that it' s the sensor and not truly overheating. What is involved in replacing the sensor. 4.7 engine, automatic transmission
