Hey guys,

I have a 2006 Dodge Dakota 4x4

I'm contemplating swapping in the 545rfe transmission.
I have someone who is able to do the flash on my PCM/ecm

The 545 will bolt right up to my motor(3.6l v6). I can pull the driveshafts from the junkyard.

However I am concerned about some of the connectors. The main one being the stoleniondsolenoid pack. When comparing images of the 42rle pack, and the 545, the connector looks much larger. Is there something I'm missing?

I checked out a few plugs at the junkyard, and took a peek at what I have on my truck, but haven't unplugged and compared pins yet. They look similar to me. But I'd need to take a much closer look.

Does anyone know off hand, if they are different? Or will this just plug in.

-Thanks.

 

Oh yeah, the connectors are way different at the solenoid pack. Same connector at the PCM, though there are way more active pins on the 545 connector. You'd be better off robbing a 545 wiring harness while you are at it so you can get the PCM C4 - 545 connectors off it. Not just a plug and play swap.
