I've heard a lot.
One that seemed obvious, is:
Chrysler trannies aren't built with "better" metals, so they wear down and
break faster. And the reason they require ATF +3 is because of the extra
protection it offers.
That explaination sounds very logical to me. Another thing is. Dodge doesn't
build the trannies, don't they hire some company to do it? I say it's kind
of like Ford's remanufactured engines. There's a company in KC called
"FourStar Engines" and it basically produces all the ford remanufactured
parts. Not saying they suck because they're really good rebuilds, but I
guess it goes down to ford not actually building it themselves, They just
look for the best possible (PRICED) contracts... =More profits....

like
Dodge Dakotas have a lot of tranny trouble. My R/T is screwed and wont be
resolved until the dealer gets their parts and "finds" time for me.
Especially these multispeed 4.7's. Can Chrysler just not build them?
Counting the members of the list, I would say about 1/4 have mentioned
tranny
trouble since I have been on and most of those trucks were near new. That
sucks bad. Anybody have an explanation?
