Dodge Transmissions
Posted: Fri Jul 05, 2013 3:36 pm
Anyone know anything about dodge transmissions?
Think the one in my Dad's pickup is on the way out for the 2nd time. It's a '94 3/4 ton with a 5.9 Magnum V8 and auto trans. The engine has ~300k on it, but it still runs great, lot of power and no smoking - burns a very tiny amount of oil.
If there are cheapish manual transmissions available I'm thinking that dropping one in would be better than scrapping the truck. If no that, perhaps a junkyard auto will last the rest of the life of the engine.
Any thoughts?
