Hey, I have the same problem. I feel it in the steering wheel. I had the same problem on my 99 R/T. I don't know what it is, but does not seem major.

A question I do have for you guys is do you have a torque converter "chatter" problem when it locks up in 4th gear at 40-55 mph with a slight throttle application? The torque converter should unlock and stay in fourth but mine chatters, then with heavy throttle downshifts to 3rd. I have had the 99 R/T, 2 94 318 autos and now the 2000. The 2000 does not shift like the others at all!!! On the highway, it takes half throttle to get the thing downshift to third when it should unlock in fourth and go. My dealer has told me twice of a reprogram of the controller coming in April, and another dealer way out of town has called a torque converter problem. Help!!

Go to the subject "recalls on 2000 Dakota" in this same forum, and you will see what problems I have had so far.

I have a 2001 4x4 Quad Cab 5.9 and at about 8000 miles it developed a loud whining noise in the drive train. The first dealer said it was normal. I decided to try another dealer and they ended up replacing the front dif. By the way my Dakota has AWD. The noise is gone and my gas mileage has improved by a couple of miles per gallon. I guess it pays to get a second opinion.
