Are the 97+ dakotas physically lager as well as
heavier than previous years?
If so, why would they use a weaker light duty automatic trany
with their physically larger and heaver V8 daks?
From what I've found the 42RE and the 44RE are the same
trany! The onty differences being:

Front Clutch 42RE 4 discs
                                   44RE 5 discs

Rear Clutch same for both

Overdrive 42RE 3 discs
Clutch 44RE 4 discs

Direct 42RE 6 discs
Clutch 44RE 8 discs

So for you V6 auto owners, If you ever get you trany done
have them throw in acouple more cluch plates and you
got yourself a 44RE.

For us V8 auto owners, can you say how many mods did you
do before your trany went
