The tranny won't work. The bellhousing is different and won't bolt into a Dak
for starters. Also, it is an RH. You run an OBDII PCM on it and it will have
all sorts of problems since the tranny went to an electronically controlled one
in 96 I think.
To make it work in your 98, you would need to block off the EGR port on the
intake manifold, get an OBDII PCM to run it, and a new flexplate. They changed
the bolt pattern and balancing of the torque converter around 96 or so, so it
won't bolt up to a later tranny unless you get a newer flexplate or a TQ that
will match the bolt holes. The TB is also an OBDI TB, so it has some vent holes
in the bores that are part of the EGR system. It will trip a code unless you
mod the bottom by cutting a channel to connect the two sides.
I think you could take the internals of the tranny and swap them into a Dak
bellhousing, but that will be a pain. I once looked into getting a Ram tranny
to put in mine because I could get a good deal on it. I talked to Wayne over at
APS, and he told me it would not bolt up to my truck due to clearance issues.
Internals were all the same though.
