Dodge Dakota will not run after transmission fluid changed.

I wouldn't consider a rebuild until you have the pressures checked and any codes read. Was the transmission working fine before you changed the fluid?
How was the fluid, was there much crap in the pan?
The linkage is on correctly? All electrical connectors?
There is a way to check the pump output volume if you want. It can help tell you how well the pump is working.

Did not have much crap in the pan, maybe less than 1/4 of teaspoon.
Linkage was checked and moves on tranny like it is suppose to when changed from the steering column. All electrical connectors are in place.
How do I check to see if pump is working? And I know there is a way to test the pressure, but I do not know how to do so, having trouble finding info on web.

Suggestion: download the 2000 factory service manual, link on forum page. There are only a few small difference between a 99 and 2000. It has the 45RFE in it.
Jeeps also use the 45RFE when searching the web.
Check for volume first, to see if the pump is working. Disconnect the "to" cooler line, place a container under it, then let the engine run at idle. In 20 seconds or less you should have a quart of fluid.
I doubt it is a mechanical failure. It hasn't moved.
It could be hydraulic, are you getting pressure?
It could also be electrical, if a connection is undone.
The easiest way to get the pressures is to use a scan tool, the DRB at a dealer.

Ok, that makes it even easier to access, however how do I tell which one is the one that runs to the cooler?

Also, If all else fails, I may go buy a brand new Tranny. Anyone know a cheap place. I found one for 1800 but father in law swears I can find them cheaper. Thanks
