Here's why:
* Common in this year: The 46RH/RE was the standard automatic transmission for the 3.9L V6 in this model year.
* 46RH vs. 46RE: The 46RH was the earlier version, while the 46RE was introduced later in the model year. The primary difference was the use of electronic controls for the 46RE.
To confirm which transmission is in your specific Dakota:
* Check the VIN: The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be decoded to identify the transmission.
* Look for the transmission tag: This should be located on the transmission itself and usually includes the transmission code.
* Consult your owner's manual: The manual should specify the transmission type for your vehicle.
Important note: While the 46RH/RE was the most common, other transmissions might have been available depending on specific trim levels or options.
