92 2wd dakota 5.2 auto help

hello all.owner of a 92 dodge dakota 2wd 5.2 auto.it has 220,000 miles on it motor hasn't been touched other than a waterpump after i hit a deer.body's great,paint was redone by diamler after a goodwill policy.problem is the transmission.i replaced the first one at 140,000 miles and the second at 165,00 miles and the third at 185,000 miles.all of em were junkyard tranys,all i did was flush,refilter pad and replace with new fluid.last year it went out again after losing 5th gear 2 weeks before in my wrangler.agravated i replaced the wrangler tranny while dodge dealership did the work on the dakota.they said the case was unusable so i bought a junkyard trany for $700 and took it straight to them with$100 to rebuild and install it.12 month 12,00 mile warrenty.guess what11 months and 20,000 miles later it shit that one out.i love this truck,nothing wrong with cept it won't hold a tranny.any one else have these problems with dodge or any one hear of better soulutions?(better rebuild kits,conversion to a 5 spd.)repies and private messages welcome.

I have owned 2 dodge 4wd trucks and have had to put transmissions in both. I have been told that the models after about 2005 have better trans but I guess that is why I now have a Ford F-150

almost think'n of getting the ram cummings diesel.

Get one of the new twin turbo F350s they are FUCKING MEAN. Just got em in at work and I was checkin' out under the hood. Jesus that thing has some potential.

cummins > all
