I'm looking to buy a used 2007 Dakota 4.7L CC 2wd. Can anyone tell me how to determine if the truck has a 5 speed or 4speed trans? Is it stamped anywhere or on a sticker somewhere? Thanks

 

i believe the 4.7L has the 545rfe 5 speed and the 3.7L v-6 has the 42rle 4 speed. mike

 

^^ Correct.

 

make sure you try and get the extended warrenty, that year only comes with the 3/36 after that it is out of pocket.

 

Thanks for the info. Is there a sticker somewhere that would verify this? My Ram has a sticker that tells specs of the truck.

 

on the drivers side stamped on the caseing is the tranny id, it will say 5-45rfe or 45-rfe at the end of serial #. I have the 5-45 and my friend has a 45. both 06 daks w/4.7. hope this helps

 

That's what I was afraid of, that both trans were available. Now I know how to verify at least. Thanks

 

But it does come with the lifetime powertrain warranty if purchased after July of 2007. I know because I have an '07 and purchased it as a left over in 1/08. I also got the 7/70 warranty.

 

Was this as per dealership or manufacturer? I cant seem to find my damn warranty info. and I was curious because mines a Sept 07 baby and I thought it had the powertrain warranty but I cant find my paperwork right now... I better get that straight before I need it

 

If you bought your truck before July 26, 2007 the lifetime powertrain warranty does not apply. If you bought it on or after July 26, 2007, it does for all 2006, '07, '08 & '09 models.
