Subject: DML: '98 Auto Trans Problem & Question
>Well, here's what I'm stuck with in mine, '98 CC 2x4 5.2Lv-8 :
> DGB = STD (Standard) Duty 4spd Auto Trans
> DGW = 4spd Auto Trans 44RE
> This is matched with :
> DMD = 3.5 axle ratio w/8.25" size rear end
> DSA = Ltd. slip differential
> BKP = 10x2.5 rear brakes
> VIN 1B7GL 22Y6 WS58 1453
> I have the HD group, the tow package and the tire & handeling pkgs.
>I can see cooling lines into the rad for the trans, and have a finned
>cooler line in the power steering loop. I have 11K on the truck, and
>have not seen the trans temp light. Got pretty hot a couple of times
>here in Los Angeles, on 100+ days, stuck in traffic, temp gauge got up
>to the 12:00 position, and I could hear the thermo-clutch on the
>fan had engaged, and was roaring full air, just like at a cold start
>for the first min. Later that day, was cruiseing at 65+ up a hill
>on the fwys, no lights either.

>> following:
>>
>> Code: DGB - STD (Standard) Duty 4spd Auto Trans
>> Code: DGW - 4spd Auto Trans 44RE
>>
>> The first one it what concerns me. I have a V8. I thought that all
>> V8's with an auto came with the Heavy Duty transmission and all V6's
>> with an auto came with the Standard Duty transmission. At least that is
>> what's shown in the features and options list in the Dakota
>> advertisement catalog. Also, does anyone know what the second listing
>> (DGW) stands for? Does everyone else with a '98 V8 auto have the
>> "Standard Duty 4spd Auto Trans" listed on the glove compartment door, or
>> is this something that I should point out to the dealer as a possible
>> problem? It would really suck if I had the wrong tranny in my truck!!!
