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? |

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!!! |

| Hi to all. I am a new member. I have a 98 dakota 4x4 truck with a 5.2/318 auto/od. The truck pulls great and shifts fine in the warmer months but in the late fall/winter/early spring, until you let it warm up 15 to 20 min. it will not shift till you get the rpms up around 3000/3500 and have to be going down hill. I have changed out trans fld./filter and after this it worked a while then went back to old way. I love this truck it has done alot for me. I bought it used and this did not happen till a year after i bought it. Thanks to anyone than can help! (?) | |
| To add to my last i forgot to tell you that it has the problem shifting out of 2nd to 3rd. thanks | |

| I have a 1998 dakota with a v-6 engine. The overdrive does not work properly when it gets hot. It works normally when cold and through warm-up, and for a while once it's warmed up. After it gets real hot overdrive begins to not work - At first if I release the accelerator pedal it comes out of overdrive, upon stepping on the pedal it goes back into overdrive. I'm certain it is not the torque converter clutch. If I keep the pedal steady it will continue staying in o.d.. Once released it will come out again. It gets progressively more sensitive to pedal pressure. This may continue for a while longer and will eventually reach a point where it does not go back into o.d.. I was an A.S.E. Master Certfied Technician for many years and worked on a lot of transmissions during that time, but it's been years since I was in the business. I can't ever recall a problem such as this. I'm thinking there may be something in the valve body that's sticking when it gets hot, but i'm not sure. There was an o.d. fault code P0783 - 3-4 shift malfunction. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. | |
