My '96 Dakota has 210,000 miles. Other than the sticky valve back around
Christmas its just fine.
I never did follow up, the Lucas stuff worked good but made the trans shift
weird when it was cold.
A couple weeks ago it got a fluid flush and filter change (not a backflush, I
was quite clear on that) and now its nearly 100%.
It still keeps the TC locked up sometimes coming to a stop but strangely only
when my wife is driving, it almost never does it to me.
She's gotten pretty adept at shifting into neutral coming to a stop if the
engine starts to die...
So we're good for who knows how long. I'm starting to set aside money for a new
truck. Ideally another '96 Dakota with 1/2 the mileage and no rust.

auto tranny problems. I still
dont trust a dodge tranny
My new '07 has an Aisin 6spd auto that seems to find the right gear and
has
the right amount of power and revs to get the job done. It also has a
manual shift (autostick) option so it will stay in whatever gear you
select.
