well get your o/d fixed. thats why your turning 3K. My 99' dakota R/T 5.9L auto turns 2K at 60mph in o/d. so wheni turn the o/d off im turnin about 3K just like you. thats bad on the engine driving at a constant 3K RPM. I'd see what a dealer had to say first before you tear up your tranny.

Also, trucks with different rear gear ratios should be expected to turn different rpm at a given speed.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way

A lot of trucks comoe with the gar of 3:55 but some come with 3:73. If you have the 3:73 your tuck will rev higher on the highway that someone who has 3:55.

The gear options for the Dakotas are 3.21, 3.55, and 3.92. They don't offer stock 3.73s and as far as i know you can't even get 3.73s for the 8.25 or 9.25 rear ends.

your going about it all the wrong way
go to wal mart
buy a plastic kiddie pool
put you trans in there
cover it with amsoil
and let it soak for 48 hrs

truth be told on this website amsoil curse everything!

also great for colds and flu
and removing spots
