What automatic transmission is in a 1994 dodge full size ram van 150 with 3.9L engine? The drive shaft broke at 65+ mph and destroyed the rear half of the transmission. I need to know which year and/or model transmission will replace the original.
Hi again,
Dodge RAM 3spd auto transmissions (RWD) available for the 3.9L engine were:
If you can't find your model code on the transmission casing, the vehicle build plate (in the engine bay) should have the factory drivetrain code stamped on it.
Failing this, Chrysler/Dodge should have your transmission details on their database.
If you end up replacing the entire transmission, you might as well upgrade to the improved 4-speed. Most Chrysler/Dodge RAM transmissions were a universal fit, but some had stronger internal components to withstand the higher torque of the larger capacity engines.
I've located a link which has more technical detail on the transmission:

Hi there, The B150 was available in two auto variants - can you please advise whether yours is the 3-spd auto, or the 4-spd with O/D?
It is a 3-spd auto, I tried to use the vin to get the exact specs from Dodge but it seems that is the only part of their website that doesn't work, they can sell me "anything" though.
