Why does my Dakota truck not shift into OD?
However, I have some trans issues: First gear revs to like 2000-2500rpm before shifting into 2nd, the truck never shifts into OD (regardless of which position the OD lockout switch is in, and the indicator does work), and the truck will not downshift at all (if you manually do it, it is real rough!!).
