My 01 Dakota 4.7L, 2WD has a trans problem. Out of the blue, the trans
will kinda go "ka-chunk" on a shift, then it will refuse to downshift
the MIL light comes on. If I pull over, shut the truck off, and
restart it, the problem goes away, and the MIL light stays on for a
handful of starts before resetting. A friend of mine who is a dodge
tech said it's a solenoid in the trans which is a pretty common issue.
Problem is I don't remember what he called it so I can hunt one down.
Does anyone know what it is?
