i have a '92 dodge dakota/3.9 v-6/auto/excab/2WD.

the truck has been having problems shifting out of 2nd gear-driving 50-55mph (almost red-line). after about 5 mins. on the road...it will shift into hi & then into OD. this has been going on for about 2 months. i don't drive it much. my '01 silverado is down w/trans out.

today i was driving to mys son's home-28 mis. away. after driving about 16-18 mis. there was a loud "pop". the truck momentarily lost motion. i immediately stopped accel'g when i heard the pop. i pressed the accel'r down & it kept going, but...i noticed the rpm had changed from about 2200 rpm (60 mph) to 3000 rpm (60 mph). i suspected that the OD had gone out. i drove about 3-4 more miles @ 60 mph & there was a hesitation & the truck began to lose speed. it finally quit.

i got underneath...removed the speed sensor fitting & the negative batt terminal to reset the ecm. i put everything back together. got in started it up...put into D. the truck took off for about 100 yds & quit moving again. while running-in P-i checked the trans fluid level. it was a little over the max mark-where it has been for about 2 yrs-since changing filter.

does anyone know if the problem is speed sensor related...trans related...ECM related or another problem?

thanx.

you'd need to do some pressure checks to confirm it, but you most likely have a blown out trans.
