ok guys i have a 1999 dodge durango 4x4 with a 5.2L what or hoe do i figure out what tranny is in there i need to buy a new tourque converter

 

go to dodge.com/owners there should be a section there for requesting a build sheet, all you have to do is enter your vin #

other option is to call your local dodge dealer and give them your vin, they should be able to print out a sheet which will tell you your vin #

 

Also if you look in the glove box, there is a code and will say 4spd transmission or something like that. The codes are as follows:

 

There are 2 different trannies for durangos with the 5.2 and 5.9. One is the A500/44RE which is behind the 5.2/318 and the A518/46RE which is behind the 5.9/360. Both can interchange from 1996-1999. The easiest way to identify it is to look under the passenger side and look at the pan, the a500 has a notched corner pan and the a518 has a extra bulge outward under where the dipstick enters. Also you could google the a500 pan and a518 pan and look at images and see what I am talking about.

 

Pssst, it's just VIN, not VIN #.

 

oops :/ my bad

 

#= Number. So you were alright with vin#. Its like texting.
If you wanted to send me a pm with the last 9 of your vin number, i can send you a build sheet.

 

Yes, # = number but VIN = Vehicle Identification Number

So VIN # = Vehicle Identification Number Number

 

Exactly. Same reason you don't call it an "ATM Machine".

 

Who's ready to just start throwing tools? I know I am.
