The elctronics changed in 2000, Pretty sure you cannot use the older trans in the newer truck - valve body and range selector are different.

The 42 will accept 46 internals but it's a tight fit. better off getting one from a junkyard, having a shop make a quick run-through with new bands and clutches, and stab it in

Won’t the 46re fit? They came in the dakota rt? Would one out a 03 2wd ram work? I’m looking at a low mileage 46re from the same truck my pcm Came from one of my buddy’s parts these trucks out I’m trying to avoid trips to the shop I got the tranny out just waiting on that flex plate to get here

Alright I’ll change that flexplate and get the 46re in a few days and be done with that. Those 2 pins for the injectors were loose I replaced them 2 wires off another harness I have they’re tight now hopefully that’s good I’ll have it put back together in a few days I’ll let you know how it goes and thanks again for the help I learned a lot since the 3 days I been on this forum

Good to hear. There's 4 or 5 people on the forum that know this generation of dakota REALLY well. I try to help out where I can, but if you haven't seen my build thread, I'm usually busy in the race shop, garage, or at the track. Or at my day job...I work in education so I'm on break right now trying to get 4 months of work done in 2 weeks. haha
