QuestionI have fallen victim to the dodge transmission problem that seems to haunt these trucks. I have a friend who has a 96 that has the same 5.2 engine and he is willing to give me the transmission out of it if it will work in my 99. Can you tell me if that transmission would work in mine? The trucks a the same with power windows, locks, tilt, cruise and all.
AnswerHi Steve,
MOPAR to you buddy!
I feel your pain, both transmissions are ONE-year, ONE-make only and they MUST be purchased with the E-tAc computer from the donor vehicle or reprogramming at the dealership will be required which will not be free. So the simple answer is no.
Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).
Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
