How can i fix my truck it wont run right it acts really weird randomly
It's a shift solenoid, a simple fix done by removing the transmission pan and swapping out the bad solenoid for a new one. Diagnose Further with a Good Scanner to find out which shift solenoid is bad, then swap it out. Easy Fix, also inexpensive! See the pictures and the link I've attached below for further info & best of luck friend! https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-dakota-tech/285204-help-p0751.html

May have no spark due to a bad crank sensor, which is responsible for spark when it gets a pulse through the cars' computer.

you could change the fan to an electric one and take off the old fan off why bother.....alternatively try soundproofing the bonnet/hood works for me(cheaper)

I found that the code is set for:
P1740....TCC Solenoid or Overdrive Solenoid performance
which indicates that a rather inexpensive fix is in order, not a complete transmission replacement!! The TCC is the solenoid which controls the locking of the transmission converter so that you get better gas mileage with no "slippage" while at highway speeds, which is normal when the converter is unlocked as you slow down. If it is locked and the solenoid fails to release it the car will stall when you come to a stop since the fluid in the converter fails to act as a clutch and the engine is connected directly to the transmission input shaft. If it never locks then the oil in the transmission will overheat at highway speeds since ther "slippage" will always be present in the converter cauasing frictional heating of the oil.
Whenever you get a quote from a shop ALWAYS get at least two more!!! No matter what the job is, even a muffler replacement get many quotes. Go to a reliable transmission repair shop and ask for their opinion. In my humble opinion the shop that told you that you need a new transmission is just hungry for work - stay away!!!!
