The torque specification for the transmission pan bolts on a 2004 Dodge Dakota varies slightly depending on the specific transmission (e.g., 3-speed automatic, 4-speed automatic).
You must consult your owner's manual or a reputable repair manual specific to your vehicle's transmission. These manuals will provide the exact torque specification in foot-pounds (ft-lb) or Newton-meters (Nm).
Using the incorrect torque can lead to leaks or damage to the transmission. Don't guess – find the correct specification. If you can't find the manual, a parts store like AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts might be able to look it up for you based on your VIN.
