1994 Dodge Dakota Scotty--Any Issues?
Hi,
I'm looking at a 1994 Dodge Dakota Scotty RV with the 318 V8 engine and an automatic transmission. It has 55,000 miles. I'm wondering if there are any issues I should know about with this truck/driveline? I saw a this one: http://www.haylettautoandrv.com/rv/c.../other+scotty+
Which is a 1992 with the same engine and I assume same transmission and it needed to be replaced at 41,000 miles...is this a common issue or a one off event?
Thanks

If you bought it, it would be in your best interest to swap that automatic for a manual transmission

I'll bet it ain't a 3:55 rear end. Ya know, if they could do it all with a Toyota Hilux (with a 4 cyl. engine) it shouldn't be too much of a problem doing it to a Dakota chassis.

I'm willing to bet that if they blew the tranny that soon, it's likely the stock drivetrain. Maybe 3.92's instead of 3.55's but that's it. Still, very intriguing for a project. I'd be interested in building one out of my old dak in the near future
