Rear End Gears

It drops out so easy because the trans is computer and vacuum controlled.
You probably won't use a computer in your swap?

Mine is set up so it automatically shifts in and out of OD and lockup determined by speed and not load or vacuum.
Mine is also adjustable, so I can set those speeds.
I can pull a 15% grade in OD and lockup at 75 without any problems at all and not much throttle either.
You can't really base it on how your computer controlled trans in the Dakota operates.

Ah, i didn’t consider the Dak OD and LU being computer and vacuum controlled. I remember seeing a post by someone - probably you? - since you just mentioned being able to manually control your A500. Since I was going to use the 833, I didn’t really pay that much attention to it. I’ll have to do a search and follow up on it.
