Looking at a 97 Dakota this weekend. Major questions: Is the 3.9 v6 in this model known for reliability? Does the auto trans have any known problems/issues?

my opinion, stay away from dodge auto trannys, i know about 5 people who all have 96 through 99 trucks and all of em had 2 to 3 trannys to get to 100 k miles. a real good friend of mine has a 97 dakota, his tranny did make it to 120 k, but then when he tried to find a tranny it got real interesting. for some strange reason dodge used a different tranny in 97 ( ecu in truck or tranny ) and he could not replace it with a standard tranny, had to specificly one from a 97, rebuilt would have cost him 4000 from the tranny alone. other problems i know of are tps and idle controls go bad. another guy i used to work with has a ram in the same year range as the others, his tranny is a manual and i know his truck was in the shop at least a month a year for 2 years
