hey maco, if i do buy this truck i think my first road trip is gonna be up to monkeys a$$, massachusetts to kick your a$$!

Like I said, I wouldn't worry about the trans if it was me. My DAKOTA I had used the same trans in it, and I wasn't worried in the slightest about it. The trans behind the 3.9L, 5.2L, and the 5.9L was a COMPLETELY different trans that did have issues with lasting past 60-70K miles. Most of the newer ones seem to go well into the 125K+ range from what I have seen of them. Some have failed, but they normally fail around 30K or so if there is an issue with them.
