I would check the battery, terminals and cables. When the weather gets extremly hot or cold it puts extra stress on the battery and even more so if the battery is several years old. Batteries usually last around 5 years before needing replacment.

I have an 05 Dakota Quad Cab SLT with 3.7L (V6) and it has a 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
