Auto Trans 1990/2003
I have a 1990 3.9L dakota with a bad transmission in it.A friend has a 2003 dakota automatic transmission out of a truck that was also a 3.9L but his is the magnum. Should the 2003 model transmission fit in my 1990 truck?

Your 1990 most likely has the 42RH. His truck should have the 42RE.
Basically, no (or at least not very easily), since certain things in the RE series is controlled via the PCM, rather than hydraulics.

Thanx for the help on that one.
I would need to find one out of a 1996 or lower right?
