The tranny in my 94 4x4 Dakota has 2 three pin connectors and the tranny i went and looked at today has 2 three pin connectors that are in the same spots and the same style why wound that not work .

 

Go for it if YOU think it is the same. But when it doesn't work don't say we didn't worn you.

 

+1. Go buy it and put it in your truck then.

But both transmissions do have 2 connectors. The 42/46rh has:

1) 3 Pin P/N safety switch and backup light switch
2) 3 Pin TCC lockup soleniod and overdrive solenoid connector

And the 42/46re has:

1) 3 Pin P/N safety switch and backup light switch
2) 8 Pin transmission solenoid assembly harness that controls the governor valve, tcc lockup solenoid and overdrive solenoid plus signal for some additional sensors that the 42/46rh doesn't have (same location as the 42/46rh's 3 pin TCC connector)

So you may want to unplug them and look a little closer. If the tranmission you are looking at really does have 2 3 pin connectors and not that 8 pin connector, then its not a 1996 transmission and you might want to question why its in a 1996 truck.

 

Are you absolutely sure this is a '96 transmission?

 

No im not 100% that this is a 96 trans or that its the OE for the truck the guyt said that it was rebuilt in 04 and the truck has 92 K on it he still has the truck so i can go double check that but the plugs r the same all the way bothe three pin's so i think im gona taka a gamble on it, he said it was a runner when he got it and parted it out because he had the moter sold and the truck was really rusty.

 

Well its bolted up and Pluged in

 

now to just get a drive shaft yoke

 

So it wasn't a 96. You should always double check what your buying before you buy it.

 

Glad the trans bolted up and everything hooked up good. Just the driveshaft, then the test drive! Good Luck with it.

 

I knew what i was buying i bought thr tranny and transfer case for 400$$ i knew that the output from the transfer case was bigger than the one that was in my dakota this is a simple fix find the right out put yoke and get a basterd u joint.....
