Dodge Repair: dodge 1500 transmission speed sensor?, dodge 1500, old fart


Question
QUESTION: i have a 199 doge 1500 4x4 extended cab dodge..poured money into this truck,to pass inspection.
now,the check engine light comes on,and shop says no pass until fixed.
they said its a speed sensor? but the truck shifts and drives fine.
something about a monitor..unsure.

have noticed that it almost seems like it slips momentarily,Just before the check engine lite comes on.
fluid was low,added more,reset computer,next day it did it again...?
reset computer again last nite,drove over 150 miles and no lite...yet.
any ideas?..suggestions?
thanks in advance,this is the only vehicle we have left on the road.

also,a quick tech question...i was planning on running the 360 magnum,with a 5 speed manual trans from a v-6 dodge 1500.
for my hotrod 1971 dodge shortbed.

will this transmission work with a 360?
will it handle a stock 360 power output?
i have the flywheel for the 360 already.

ANSWER: what is the code for the light?

QUESTION: already got first question/vehicle fixed....

could you answer the other trans question about the 360-5-speed please?
5 speed is a nv 3500
want to know if it can be used behind a 360 magnum same year-1994.
will it live ??

also, i have a 1994 dodge truck 4x4 transmission that was filled with Wrong fluid,and trans literally quit

now,when cold,will pull in gear till warm...then nothing again.
will somehow draining replacing all fluids with proper atf plus 4 Do anything or is it not worth doing?
atf 4 is like 70 bucks for a case
thanks again

ANSWER: sorry I know nothing about older cars like that

QUESTION: thats pretty disappointing Kevin...you didnt answer either of my questions..hell,you didnt even try ??!!

thats disturbing in itself,seeing as an old fart like myself helps everyone he can.

even if i dont know the answers,i at least TRY to help and find out from someone who does.
clearly,you havent helped me a bit.

supposedly you are a 14 year veteran master tech,yet you cant answer simple tech questions for vehicles that are only 6 years old??

Logic says your reply makes No sense whatsoever if you think about it.


well,obviously im not going to get any help here..which is sad.

hopefully you will continue to gain experience so you can Actually help others.

good luck,Rob

Answer
humm  sorry to say   I dont get paid for any of this  all volunteer work and any one at any deal I work for  was not working on car that were built back in  1971  they are all gone or dead.  Plus if u read my profile  it says not to ask for cars older then 96  and there is a reason for this  that is why I posted it.  If u want that kinda answer u will haft to do the leg work not ask some one the first time and expect every one that has worked on cars to know everything about all make a years it does not work like that.

U had answered gotten the only part of the question I was going to help out with fixed  what more could I do  nothing  that is why I said what I said.

U will simply need to look else where    try justanswers.com there are techs there  if some one wants to play with something that old  they will respond.
