cool dodge breakage.

he said the driveshaft came a hair within hitting someone. i just hate working on dodges, everytime i do anything to one its always a hassle. kinda like garfield hates monday, chryslers are my thing to hate
ive done transmissions on so many different makes and models and ive never been so frustrated til i did a dakota. this ram wasnt too bad. the torque converter access hole was kinda a joke but no real major problems
i was able to salvage the front driveshaft, some of the splines at the very tip had some burrs on them, a little bit of elbow grease with a file took care of that. i put the trans and transfer case in today. still no idea on price. but the cores he said were worth $1500 so im sure they cost a bit more then that. the cores got sent back today after i was sure i got everything off of them

My NV4500 is not a weak transmission. In fact the NV 4500 is stronger than the NV5600. As for their automatic transmissions I have never had any trouble with the 02 Dakota 4x4 I had. But the Allison is by far the best heavy automatic today. But remember when they first came out they had their issues too.

Random would be correct. Dodge is known for their automatics failing. Ive even heard from a few people that their average life span is 100,000 miles. But my 94 Dakota 3.9 with the auto that I traded for this Blazer I have now(and I kick myself in the *** everyday for it) had 15x,xxx miles on it. Original transmission and it was a hard worker. So I think that there was a few of them out there that didnt have issues and you just had to be lucky enough to get it.

the old ford broncos are basically like the old chevys in a sense so kinda. the only time i really messed with a bronco was at my old job they had a 85 plow truck and messed with that thing a few times

ahh got ya mines a 91 but i have not played with the 4wd system yet
she engages into 4hi when ever she feels like it and wont do any thing in low range
I think the motor is frozen and its not engaging like it suppose too ...
I wonder if theres an indicator switch too ? cause i got it to light up once and it wouldn't light ever again

the total for the dodge repair was $4500, guess hes a friend of the guy up front so thats probably why so cheap i figured it was gonna be a bit more. transfercase was 1200, trans was 2000 and the rest was labor
