Hi I'm currently stationed in Spangdahlem AB, Germany and I recently bought a 2000 Durango 5.9L 4x4 with alittle over 100 thousand miles from a fellow Airmen, and of course it has problems. This is my first Dodge ever and by far it's one of my favorite vehicles. Before I bought this truck the previous owner said that it sat at the port in L.A. for 2 years before he had it shipped over, once he had it shipped here to Germany and started her up the check engine light came on, so he took it to one of the auto shops to have it looked at and the guy told him it that it was one of the sensors and couldn't tell him which one cause there's so many blah blah blah. Any after I took it off his hands and really drove it I relized that it had a similar problem that one of my previous vehicles had, it sounded like it was sucking to much air in and had problems going. I thought it was the MAF and come to find out there is no MAF and using this site I found out it was the MAPS, I changed that out and another sensor and the truck started running smooth as can for about a week or two until the check engine light came back on with dreaded P1740 code. Now I already ordered the TCC Transmission Switch assymbly from AZ and just waiting for that to come in but does anybody happen to have an IPB of the tranny or can tell me what I need to do to swap this part out? I hope this fixes my problem and is the last of the stuck or gunked up sensors and solenoids.

Thanks for the help.

 

Get a service manual. The one you will need is the 2002 as it is the closest to yours. Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2cg2hgim2zz

 

wouldn't the 2002 one be a bit different since his 2000 is pre-facelift or did they change the electronics around in 2000 ahead of the facelift

 

I have a service manual but it has nothing for the tranny, in the manual it says to take it to a tranny shop if there's any problems. I haven't climbed up under there yet but really what I need to know is if the tcc/o/d switch is on the outside or on the inside of the tranny, so I know whether or not to order the seals and gaskets for the pan if I have to drop it.

 

which transmission do you have? If you don't know which engine do you have?

Edit:
I just saw you have a 5.9 so that would be a 46re. And regardless of the year the transmission should be the same, so you should be fine with the link hydra posted
