The trannies are different between the 3.9 and the 5.2/5.9 motors. The 3.9 had the 42RE behind them. The 5.2/5.9 (R/T and non-R/T) had the 46RE. The 4.7 had the 45RFE. You should be able to put any 46RE behind the 5.2 that you have. I'd look for one out of a 2500 w/5.9L gas motor as they had some better internal parts over the units for the Dakotas, Durangos and 1500 trucks (at least that is what I have heard).
Torque convertors are different too.
