Just a quick note, most V8 Dakotas are going to have a 518/46RH behind them. The V6 Dakota most likely to have a 500/42RH.
Yes, my 1992 Dakota shop manual states that the 42RH is used with the 3.9L and the 46RH is used with the 5.2L. The difference in the transmissions is the first and seconed gear ratios.
There is no difference between a 518 and a 46RH, it was just a change in how the transmissions were designated.
I know it's just me, but why would mother Mopar make things more complicated by having two designations for the same part!
Pertaining to the above posts, for those that don't know, (that would be nobody) the Dakota 6 stud rear axle can be retrofitted with the earlier 5 bolt
axle.
RUMBLON: Why would you not use the original '92 overdrive transmission ?
