Will an automatic transmission from a 1999 Dodge Dakota v6 4x4 bolt up and work in 2003 v8 or v6?

No, the automatic transmission from a 1999 Dodge Dakota V6 4x4 will not bolt up and work in a 2003 Dakota V8 or V6. The transmission from the 1999 Dakota has a different bellhousing pattern and different bolt patterns for the torque converter and driveshaft than the transmission in the 2003 Dakota. Additionally, the 2003 Dakota V8 and V6 engines have different input shaft splines than the 1999 V6 engine, so the transmission from the 1999 Dakota would not be able to mate to the engine in the 2003 Dakota.
