I had to lower the tilt steering wheel to make room to get it out. I carefully pried between the valve body and the transmission case, being careful not to gouge the pan mating surface. I removed this spring before removing the throttle lever from the transmission. I cleaned the dirt from around the switch so it wouldn't get inside the transmission. This time I used a little inspection mirror and a flashlight to look in the hole. Refill fluid through the transmission stick-check hole on top of engine. I had to shift into Neutral, if I could find it, since the detent was gone and the little pointer got bent while I was screwing around looking for the problem at the steering column.
Push removal tool into connector. It also beat the Ram 50, which had sales of less than 77,000 units, and the Ram Vans, at under 70,000. Put just plain water… I'm in the process of changing mine now. A , based on the , replaced the three-speed Torqueflite itself as the optional transmission. Going to an eight foot bed added around 100 pounds.
If that is the case, there is a special tool required to release the locking device, and the tool is more than likely available at most auto parts supply stores for a reasonable price. The engine, producing 270 lb-ft of torque, required a new cooling system, with an electric fan forward of the radiator other Dakotas used an engine-driven fan between radiator and engine. I am not sure if it is a 42rh or 42re. I reconnected the throttle lever to the small shaft that runs through the center of the manual shaft. The Club Cab added around 230 pounds.

I could hear clicks from inside the tranny case. I hope this doesn't become loose before the truck completely rusts away. Also there were 2 transfer cases: one full-time and the other part time. Squeeze retainer tabs together until both tabs contact line Figure 3. There were 3 bolts at the front of the valve body, close to the exhaust crossover pipe. I also applied some petroleum jelly around the seal in the case for the manual lever. Any dirt between the valve body and the tranny case will only do bad things.

For 1992, the V6 got the Magnum treatment, dramatically raising horsepower and torque; the major changes were sequential multiple port fuel injection, which increased responsiveness across the full range of engine operation, airflow, and head design. Also, spend the money on the correct dealer replacement hoses… Fairly easy,I did it in about 5 mins. Remove the 4 bolts from the shroud and push it back towards the engine.
I did this by myself and had it… I work for cummins diesel and we use warm water and cascade. The manual lever is directly behind this hole. You first locate the two bolts that hold the center bearing assembly to its cross brace and remove them. V8 power arrived in 1991, with the 318 5. Before going too far, I wiped the mating surfaces with a clean paper towel. Hope you have a good book, if not go to the Library if you have trouble.
