#677 of 685 High Speed Engine Rev by freebee Oct 24, 2009 (4:27 pm)
Hello,   I was out of town and I developed a loud "whirring" sound that would go away somewhat after it had been idling for awhile. This went on for the week. When I was on my way back into town, I started to get a rev anytime I slightly increased or decreased my speed. Anything above or around 2000 rpms usually, nothing lower. Welp, the noise stopped. The idler pulley sheared off and I had to wait for my friend to come and bring me a new one along with a new belt. I replaced the idler pulley and belt. I got back on the freeway only to find it revving again (about a 200 rpm surge) around 60 to 80 miles an hour (1900-2300RPM) while just barely giving it gas, sometimes my foot is steady and it will do this. When I got home, I replaced the tensioner pulley thinking it was bad and also added 24 ounces of Lucas Oil Transmission Stop Leak fluid to the tranny. I drove it around only to find it doing the same thing again. I can floor it and not have any rev issues. I can drive under 60 or so and it won't do it either. Do I have a vacuum leak or a slipping tranny??

Help! Got truck stuck and after getting it out, trans is stuck in drive in every gear range P R N D. It will run fine in drive and shift out but will not come out of drive even in park and reverse. Any suggestions? Replies to this message: 92dak4x4 (Nov 10, 2009 6:59 pm)
#679 of 685 Trans Fluid Pressure Sensor--2002 Dakota by richs63 Nov 09, 2009 (1:58 pm)
This code P0876 has come up a couple of times. If I clear the code the truck runs fine for a day or so. Wen it come back it is hard to get up a hill. Does anyone know where the sensor is located.

Replying to: zyta88 (Aug 03, 2009 5:54 pm) I have a Dodge 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport Quad PU. The truck just started with the same problem described by yta88. Can you tell me if it gets worse or does it stay the same? Does anybody know if this damages the transmission running it in this condition?   I want to go deer hunting in VA and it is a 3 hour drive on the highway. Don't want to get stuck on the side of the road. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: timlw443 (Nov 07, 2009 8:48 pm) What has happened here is the forward clutches have welded themselves to the steel plates inside the unit. Happened to mine as well, ended up replacing trans. If you do a lot of off roading then i recommend upgrading to the A-518 transmission out of the 5.2 dakota. That is if you can find one out of a 96 and up since it is computer controlled. So what you would need is a 46RE. Same case, beefier parts.
#682 of 685 1991 dakota 4x4 problem by melodytoinvent Nov 11, 2009 (1:08 am)
I'm thinking about buying a 1991 Dakota but the guys telling me that it wont go into 4WD but it drives otherwise. He says he thinks its a vacuum line, but a friend of mine says that a 91 wouldnt have vacuum lines and that it could be a multitude of things, like: bad transfer case, cv axle, driveshaft, front axle, or spider gears. So I'm kinda stuck wondering. Any idea what it could be from any recalls or known problems from that year? And around how much would those things cost me? Thanks.   Just in case: its a 318 V8. How can I tell if its the LA motor or a Magnum? Should it have the badges on the fenders if its a Magnum or does that not matter?

Replying to: gpirie (May 04, 2008 10:09 am) I have the same problem, mostly in the cold (I live in Toronto) or if it hasn't been run for a couple of days. Dealer said same thing to me. Doesn't seem to be related to the doors though. Have you figured out a solution? Millan
#685 of 685 2002 Dodge Dakota transmission problems? by poostiles Nov 21, 2009 (9:37 am)
I just bought a used 02 Dodge Dakota 4X4. It is hard shifting out of 1st and 2nd but doesn't do it all the time. Now it seems like it doesn't want to move quickly when starting out but drags. Please tell me what to look for. Should I take it to a transmission guy? I'm afraid they will rip me off. I'm a 44 yr old single mom. Have pity on me!!! Help!!!
