If memory serves, by 2001, Dodge had stopped using the AX-15, and was
equipping all manual-equipped Daks with NV-3500's. for automatics, the V6's
got 42RE's, 5.2L's got 44RE's, and 5.9L's got the 46RE's (4.7L's got the
45RFE).

If you have a manual trans, it's moe than likely the NV3500 (the AX15 is the
light weight unit).

If you have the automatic, it's probably the 46RE...but I have seen 42/44's
in the 5.2L's. Look at the side of the transmission by the shift linkage -
there is a part number on the stamping.

Another puzzle....the book with my Dak says my tranny might be an NV3500. It
is 98 w/5.2L and 4x4. Is thiscorrect? i think it might be a A500 43 RE/H.
How do I tell the difference????
