I have a 2000 4.7 with the variable Tranny and it is awesome. Remember not
to stump on the pedal to the floor, this is not necessary for this type of
Tranny. Just press a 1/4 inch down and it will fly. No ping, slips, or
transmission problem, but the MPG sucks when racing it.

Hey gang,
I'm a newbie here, so pardon me if this question been done to death:
I'm all set to buy a 2000 Dakota, with the 4.7L and multi-speed AT.
The only thing holding me back right now is some talk I've heard
about recent automatic transmission problems on the Dakota.
Anyone know what years and which transmissions had problems,
or whether the whole thing is blown out of proportion?
Thanks,
Thomas Cox
