I've only had one truck with the later model transmission. This is a '93 Dakota with the V-6 and overdrive transmission. The mechanical part has never given any trouble. the only work done was a fluid change at about 40K just as routine maintenance. The electrical is another matter. Every now and then, it will kick out of over drive. All I have to do is push the OD button to go back but it does it randomly. I did have one time last year when it wouldn't go into OD at all. I believe this is in the computer. My next new vehicle will be a stick shift. I'm debating right now weather it will be a Dakota or a Ram but it will have a V-8 and overdrive either way.
